There are so many kinds of change and loss that we can experience, including but not limited to big life transitions, moving or losing a home, starting or ending an important relationship, the death of a loved one, career changes, illness, and more. Adjustment is non-linear process, and having support can make a huge difference.

I have training/experience providing LGBTQ2AI+ affirming counseling. Are you coming out? Discovering new dimensions to your sexual orientation or gender identity? Struggling and in need of support? I’d love to hear from you. Identities that I have experience working with include queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, nonbinary, trans, ace, poly, and so many more.

Trauma is an experience that anyone can have, and everyone’s experience is different. Trauma is caused by many things, including the effects injustice while living and working in systems of oppression. Many folks experience burnout. All of this can leave us afraid, exhausted or even too energized, depressed, and more. Recovery is possible, and counseling can be a powerful way to move toward healing.

The AEDP approach focuses on trauma healing through our relationship as counselor and client. I attend to how the relationship feels to you, and welcome your feedback.

I work from a lens that is culturally sensitive, affirms your identities, and centers justice and liberation.

In addition to talking about concerns together, I may also invite you to notice your body sensations in the present moment if it feels safe to do so. I am trained as a somatic therapist. Somatic approaches are based in neuroscience and proven to help heal trauma.

There are so many kinds of change that we can experience, including but not limited to big life transitions. Transitions can be exciting, and can also involve difficulty. Grief and loss may be experienced with some transitions, such as moving or losing a home, starting or ending an important relationship, the death of a loved one, career changes, illness, and more. Adjustment is non-linear process, and having support can make a huge difference.

I support people in exploring a variety of social and cultural identities, keeping in mind my own social locations and the way these can affect the counseling relationship. I specialize in neurodivergent affirming counseling. Neurodivergent identities I can support include (but are not limited to), ADHDers, autistic folks, synthesthetes, and people with sensory processing differences.
