I am a therapist passionate about therapy being accessible to anyone who wants to pursue it. I believe therapy can help us better understand ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us. Our environments and culture profoundly impact us, and sometimes understanding ourselves means unpacking that impact. I am an LGBTQ+ friendly and disability affirming therapist that works with young adults and adults. I work with individuals that have experienced medical trauma, chronic illness, ADHD, Autism, Acquired and Traumatic Brain Injury, stroke survivors, anxiety, mood disorders, and psychosis.
I work from a disability justice framework. I am certified in Motivational Interviewing, but take an eclectic approach that includes SE, ACT, narrative therapy, and solutions-focused therapy. I pull from systems theory, abolitionist, and decolonizing philosophies.
I consider the role of a helper to be a great honor and privilege, and would be happy to connect to see if we are good fit. The best way to reach me is by emailing me through this website.

While I work with a wide variety, I really specialize in disability work especially in the arena of chronic illness, neurodivergence (all neurodivergence, not just ADHD and autism), and acquired and traumatic brain injury. I pay special attention to how our medical systems, school systems, and work places are particularly difficult to navigate for a person with any sort of disability.

I use a very organic style of therapy where we talk about what you want to talk about and we examine what that means to you, and also examine this through the lense of systems theory with attention to how your environment impacts you. I utilize lots of different techniques to help examine and process what's going on in your world.
