I specialize in LGBTQIA+ care (with an emphasis on Transgender folks but also actively support cisgender & heterosexual folks too), neurodivergence (especially Autism & ADHD), attachment science and recovery from high-control relationships, religions, and cultish communities. My approach is client-centered and relational, drawing on somatic psychotherapy, attachment dynamics, trauma-based CBT, and identity formation work. I also work with activated anxiety, depression, complex trauma, and grief — offering a grounded space for self-awareness and emerging identities. Questions are welcome. Say hey anytime!
I trained in one of the nation's first Somatic Psychology programs, integrating nervous system care with attachment science & the latest trauma science. With care & curiosity, I walk alongside my clients, encouraging them to notice their unique patterns & dynamics in the therapeutic relationship between us. I marry practicality with insight to help you grow
Please don’t hesitate to reach out. As of Jan 2026 I have new lower level openings on my sliding scale as well as openings for clients eager to use insurance. If I hit capacity, my amazing AMFT team—trained and supervised by me weekly—can support all the areas I specialize in!

Therapy with me is relational and collaborative. I draw from attachment-based work, somatic therapy, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. Together we explore thoughts, emotions, and body awareness to ease anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, stress, grief, and identity concerns, in a culturally competent/humble affirming space.
