As a queer and AuDHD therapist myself, I have lived experience in learning how to live a life that feels more authentic and grounded. I specialize in working with queer, highly sensitive, and neurodivergent adults struggling with the impacts of trauma as well as feelings of overwhelm, anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship challenges, difficult family relationships, and identity exploration. Ultimately, I'm not interested in "treating" your neurodivergence but I will support you wholeheartedly in navigating the complexities that come with it.

Session Format: Individual sessions.

Treatment Approach
- Integrative Therapy Combines techniques from multiple approaches into a customized plan. It adapts to each client’s unique situation and needs.
- Internal Family Systems (IFS) Helps clients heal by working with different ‘parts’ of themselves, like inner critics or wounded children. It fosters harmony within the self.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Relational Psychotherapy Emphasizes the healing power of the therapist-client relationship. It uses trust and safety as a foundation for change.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
Approach Description: My approach to therapy integrates my own education, lived experience, and extensive training in Somatic, Internal Family Systems, and Psychodynamic modalities.

I offer a warm and empathetic space that allows you to work towards freeing yourself from patterns of stuckness, healing past pain, and developing a stronger connection to yourself, your body, and your own intuition. I know that searching for a new therapist can sometimes feel overwhelming - I've been there myself! My style is rooted in warmth, playfulness, curiosity, creativity, and honesty. If you resonate with anything about my work, I’d love to hear from you about starting this journey together.
