I believe that everything you need to heal and live as the best version of yourself already resides within you. You are the expert of your own experiences, and I aim to create a safe space where you can explore those experiences, emotions, and trauma without judgement. My deepest wish is that you show up just as you are today, whatever that means to you–come in pjs, bring your favorite drink, bring a comfort item. You are welcome and celebrated exactly as you are.
My work as a therapist is grounded in liberation, queer, and feminist theories and I am drawn to narrative, IFS (parts work), and ACT modalities. I take an empathetic, relaxed, collaborative approach to therapy that is deeply influenced by social justice, anti-racism, fat liberation, and disability justice. I have experience working with queer and trans folx who have experienced complex trauma, depression, anxiety, OCD, and I have particular interest in working with folx who have done the work in therapy before and are ready to dive deeper into identity exploration through a trauma-informed lens.
When I’m not in session, you can find me crocheting, reading sapphic fantasy or a thriller, hanging with my pets, and enjoying a cup of coffee.
