You don’t have to perform your pain to be seen. You don’t have to overgive to be loved. I work with the LGBTQ, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrants, kink/BDSM community, polyamorous or nonmonogamous folks, and survivors who are done with shrinking, burning out, or wondering if they’re "too much." You might be holding grief, longing, or rage that never had a safe place to land, especially if your identity has been shaped by generational trauma, family obligation, or code-switching for safety. As a relational, trauma-informed and somatic therapist, I hold space for both the ache and the aliveness in you. I am trained in EMDR and IFS.
Whether you're navigating complex relationships, unlearning survival patterns, or healing in the aftermath of harm, therapy with me is collaborative, tender, and rooted in dignity. I offer therapy that honors your cultural, spiritual, and erotic truths, no need to filter or censor. We’ll go at your pace, together.
If you're craving a place to be deeply seen and not just “fix” yourself, you’re in the right place. Let’s reclaim your clarity, softness, and power. We will learn and practice nervous system regulation, healing shame, transmuting pain and embodying self-love. I see you. Book a free 15-minute consult to see if we’re a good fit. (Email preferred)

I have over 8 years of experience supporting the black sheep. Together we grieve the care that was never there or inconsistent, ritualize safety and embodiment as a right and loosen the grip of shame and rise into our aliveness.

I often use a combination of talk therapy and somatic principles to support you in establishing safety and being present. From that foundation we can set goals that feel aligned and meaningful to you. I hold space not sessions and serve as a witness and co-creator in our work together. I provide items for you to practice in and out of session to achieve your goals in a sustainable way.
