Have you been disappointed in how you react in certain situations, in how patterns from your past repeat themselves? For many of us, losses or harms of the past haunt our present and complicate our choices. You may feel stuck or adrift, unable to find traction toward your goals or hounded by an inner critic or persistent shame.
Whatever you've been through, you’re looking to be recognized for who you are, to figure out the keys to healing and to finding ease and happiness. Starting with your story and strengths we'll work together to find the right balance between change and acceptance so you can build the future you dream of.
My approach to therapy is abolitionist, gender-affirming, eclectic, practical and informed by neuroscience and meditation. My work is focused on helping people recover from trauma and oppression. I'm looking forward to meeting you.

My experience is with people who have depressive or anxious symptoms and have formed unhelpful habits to compensate them, such as substance use, over-eating, shopping, procrastination, perfectionism or underachieving. I particularly specialize in complex post-traumatic stress among sexual and gender minorities (LGBTQ people) in a way that is sex positive and gender affirming.
