About

I support people dealing with depression, anxiety, relational distress, life transitions, gender and sexuality exploration, chronic illness, autism and/or ADHD. Healthy relationships with our family, friends, and support systems including therapy inform our ability to cope, process, and grow. I believe healing happens when we develop self-compassion for our most shamed parts and build support systems that meet us with care and understanding. My style is integrative, mindful and rooted in social justice.

I will show up calm and open minded, listen with empathy, and use humor when appropriate. I believe you are the expert on your own life. I utilize a systemic, person centered approach that is trauma informed. I believe in transparency in the therapy process and deciding together what approaches work best.

I am invested in working with people of many relationship models and social identities. My personal insights as a queer, neurodivergent, fat, disabled person working on my own mental health and internalized biases inform my work and how I relate to those I work with.
