Uncovering your most authentic self can be a lonely process. At first, you may not be sure who to turn to or who to ask for support. Whether you are coming to terms with a new gender identity or sexuality, how a past event has shaped you, or a new challenge in your life that is stopping you in your tracks, navigating these changes by yourself can be difficult.

Life assures us struggle, hardships, grief, and loss, but these things don't have to be the end of our story. They can be our call to action. I want to help you develop the tools you need to create a rich, full, and healthy life of your own design. One where you not only meet your goals but enjoy the process. A diagnosis, a major life change, an experience of abuse or trauma, an identity outside the social norms we find ourselves in; these are not our limitations, they're just aspects of our starting point.

I love working with clients who are curious to see what life looks like on the other side of "stuck." Trauma, depression, anxiety, and so many other things that bring us to therapy, often feel so overwhelming and insurmountable, we don't know what to do or where to start.
If you're feeling "stuck," you're not alone. I’ve found that the parts of ourselves we most want to keep hidden are the parts that need to be seen and loved before we can begin to heal. You can do the messy, hard work of giving yourself permission to be seen and loved.

Are you feeling stuck in patterns that prevent you from thriving and succeeding in ways that deep down you know you can? Perhaps your relationships are suffering, or intimacy feels hard or scary. Whether it's anxiety, depression, posttraumatic stress, relationship problems, self-harm, addictions, or something else, my guess is these patterns emerged from a need to cope or survive. As a queer person, I know how hard finding an affirming and non-judgmental therapist can be, especially if you are LGBTQ+. A therapist who meets you exactly where you are right now can be the first step to building the life you want!

I am a queer, trauma informed therapist. I place heavy emphasis on radical acceptance with all clients. My sessions are a judgement-free, fully accepting space. I also emphasize accountability and a realistic outlook on personal actions & emotions. We will work on both accepting and understanding the emotional responses happening and will work to create a more stable mental state by acknowledging when responses are based in reality versus based on internal struggles. I am a big advocate for psychoeducation and often find people can better process emotions and traumas when they understand the scientific basis.

Are you someone who finds it relatively easy to care for the people you love, but struggle to extend that same kindness to yourself? Do you struggle to set boundaries or minimize your experiences because you worry your needs aren't important? Maybe you feel like both "too much" and never enough. If any of this resonates, I would love to meet with you!
I specialize in supporting individuals with complex trauma, sexuality and/or gender identity exploration, and neurodivergence including autism, ADHD, and OCD. I also really enjoy doing work around chronic people pleasing, burnout, and attachment wounds.

Therapy is political. We live in a world where genocides are livestreamed, and we continuously experience collective traumas. As a kinky, non-binary, neurodivergent, and polyamorous human I understand what it’s like to dream of a better world while holding space for the suffering of the present. Vulnerability with ourselves and our community is the way forward and I honor that we are all in different places in that journey. We all deserve joy and pleasure and a world without imperialism and capitalism.
