You deserve a space where you don’t have to perform, shrink, or justify who you are. As a non-binary, queer, and neurodivergent therapist with more than a decade of experience, I am committed to providing affirming, compassionate care for adolescents and adults. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens in environments where authenticity is valued over conformity, and where you can finally exhale without the need to mask. I specialize in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, neurodivergent folx, and individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, addiction, Bipolar Disorder, grief, and difficult life transitions.
By integrating MI, CBT, DBT, and ACT, I provide a balance of emotional processing and practical tools that feel realistic for your daily life. Drawing from extensive experience in crisis intervention, addiction treatment, and trauma-informed care, I prioritize building a relationship where your voice matters and your experiences are honored.
The foundation of our work is the recognition that you are the expert in your own life; my role is to walk alongside you, fostering the self-compassion and groundedness you need to grow in ways that feel genuinely meaningful. Whether you are seeking support around identity, relationships, recovery, or emotional overwhelm, you are welcome exactly as you are.
