I provide warm, empathetic, neurodiversity affirming, and trauma-informed care focused in supporting women, queer, and non-binary individuals to heal the root cause of nervous system dysregulation.

This may be a good fit if you are someone who...

  • has done years of personal growth work but still feels emotionally reactive in certain moments
  • understands your patterns intellectually, but your nervous system hasn’t fully caught up
  • values spirituality, mindfulness, or meditation, but still feels emotionally stuck
  • longs for deeper authenticity in relationships
  • wants therapy to be experiential, not just analytical
  • is functioning well externally while privately carrying old emotional burdens

Please note: I am not accepting cis-male clients at this time.
