You may feel like your relationship with your body, identity, or partners has been shaped by disability, chronic illness, or neurodivergence in ways others have not fully understood. You might be struggling with intimacy, or feeling disconnected from yourself or someone you love. If you are in a neurodivergent relationship, you may feel like you’re having two conversations at once or feel guilty for unmasking. You may be looking for an inclusive, disability affirming, queer affirming space to explore all sides of you. Together, we’ll explore pleasure in ways that feel authentic and empowering to you.
Living with chronic illness can change how you experience your body, relationships, and intimacy. I use EFT to help clients navigate relationship changes that illness can bring. I incorporate Internal Family Systems to help clients explore parts of themselves shaped by pain, grief, and body trust.
We will navigate the complexities of your experiences, whether they involve trauma, or grief. I am committed to helping you build on your strengths, understand your patterns, and develop strategies that promote healing and growth. You don't have to figure this out alone. And if I'm not the right fit, I'll help find someone who is!

I use attachment/EFT, IFS, and Somatic Experiencing. Together we'll explore relationship patterns, get curious about different parts of you, and notice what your body is holding onto. Sessions blend talking with slowing down to check in with sensations. You set the pace, and I'll follow your lead, not push you.
