Great to meet you!

It takes a lot of strength and self-kindness to seek support and therapy–thank you for being here and for considering me as part of your process. I have worked with folks with a number of experiences and specialize in trauma and trauma-related disorders. CPTSD, Religious abuse/trauma and grief are my primary areas of treatment. My aim is to help understand where folx are, as well as what their hopes and goals may be. We work together to find growth and change in the ways that works best for you.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I operate from a feminist, abolitionist lens and adapt evidence-based modalities, including TF-CBT, DBT and CPT to fit each individual as needed. I am here to hold space for you, help you find understanding and work through the many-faceted aspects of adulthood.

What you can expect from our first session

As a trans-non-binary, queer and nuerodivergent therapist, I bring lived experience into the therapy space and enjoy supporting folx who are or may be LGBTQIA2S+. In my free time, you can find me scrounging for new books or deep in an arts and crafts project. Please feel free to email me to discuss scheduling an introduction call!
