If you’re exhausted from masking, editing who you are, and shrinking to fit into a world that wasn't built for you, you’re in the right place. I work with LGBTQIA2S+, trans, nonbinary, gender-expansive, and neurodivergent adults (ADHD/Autism), including folks navigating ENM/polyamory or neurodivergent burnout. You shouldn't have to spend your sessions educating your therapist. Many of my clients come in carrying the heavy weight of "otherness." Here, we work together to drop the performance, heal old wounds, and help you step into grounded self-trust on your own terms.
I provide a warm, neuro-affirming space for deep identity exploration and healing. Whether you're navigating trans and gender-expansive care, neurodivergent unmasking, or alternative relationship dynamics, I meet you exactly as you are. With us, there’s zero "explaining 101", just genuine, compassionate support tailored to you.
You can love the life you’re building and still feel so tired of navigating it alone. You deserve a space where you’re fully seen, celebrated, and allowed to take up space, messy, questioning, or still figuring things out. When you're ready to move from survival mode into a life that feels genuinely yours, it would be an honor to walk alongside you.

I provide a neuro-affirming sanctuary for LGBTQIA2S, trans, and gender-expansive individuals, as well as those navigating ENM/polyamory and the creative life of artists. You shouldn't have to 'teach' your therapist how to respect your identity or justify your existence. Together, we move past the exhaustion of survival and toward a grounded self-trust where you are finally allowed to take up space
