I serve children, teens, and adults who are interested in learning more about how their brain works and what tools and techniques will be best suited to support them - in school, at home, in communities, and in the workplace. Many clients come to me because I specialize in an affirming approach to autism and ADHD evaluations. As a queer, neurodivergent person myself, my hope is that my services are as safe, comfortable, and informed as possible.
Are you looking to process trauma? Gender? Figure out what flavor of neurodivergent you are and the best ways to cope? Maybe you are in a relationship with complex identity intersectionalities that needs support. I specialize in working with gender-diverse youth and adults, queer couples, those with insecure attachment, introverts, and neurodivergent folks. I support clients grappling with minority stress, facing unique challenges and societal pressures that exacerbate mental health struggles.
I work with individuals and couples/partners who feel anxious or disconnected and who are often seeking help navigating the impact of previous trauma on current relationship concerns, particularly around identity, sexuality, intimacy, marginalization, and nontraditional partnerships. I support clients in increasing connection and shifting imbalances in their relationships with compassion and accountability rather than blame.
Early experiences influence the way we act and engage in the world. Without time to reflect we can get stuck in habits and patterns that are meant to protect us but prevent us from true connection with others and the present. Together we will identify root causes of the behaviors and repeated actions that no longer serve you. We will practice being vulnerable. Clients who are serious about making changes while maintaining a sense of humor when needed will do well in this practice together.

I work with people ages 15 and older on a myriad of topics. I am especially interested in working with interracial couples, first/second generation immigrants, queer folx, BIPOCs, men, and sex workers. Areas of specialities include mindfulness, BDSM, gender, ethical non-monogamy, social justice, anxiety, depression, sex therapy, and trauma.
Do you feel like your partner has become your roommate and the spark is gone? My ideal clients are those seeking to restore emotional and physical intimacy, address issues related to sexual difficulties, and enhance their overall relationship satisfaction. Whether you’re dealing with communication challenges, desire differences, or complex sexual dynamics, I’m here to support you on your journey to a lasting connection.
As an EMDR trained and IFS informed clinician, my specialty is the treatment of PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety and dissociative disorders in adults and adolescents. I strive to create a calming, safe space and have a more gentle approach, though I will challenge you to do very hard work at a pace that feels safe for you. Compassion, curiosity, and mindfulness are some of my favorite tools.
Some have just been lifestyle bombed , the love of their life seeming to say they’re not enough. Others, having taken the leap can’t seem to stop fighting. Feeling isolated, scared, tired, and like they're going to lose everything. Take a moment to imagine your life as it could be in a few months. You are in love, all over again. With your partner(s), yourself, and how you live. Accepted for who you are, allowed to love in a way that feels natural, you are excited in your new life.
Through our work together we can help release stuck patterns and increase understanding. I specialize in complex trauma treatment, behavior change, maladaptive coping strategies, anxiety, and depression. I believe in looking at the whole self through a lens of kindness and self-compassion. We will examine and break down the roots of why you're not feeling fully satisfied with your life and we'll partner together to move towards healing and strength in both a comfortable and challenging manner.

I work with teens, adults, and couples, and specialize in anxiety, ADHD, and relationship issues. I practice from a mindful, strengths-based approach, and I provide a safe, warm environment that is conducive toward you achieving your goals.
You came here because you have a desire to deepen your relationship with yourself and others, you feel stuck in patterns you hope to change, are processing trauma, or are looking to reclaim lost parts of yourself. You have come to the right place. Working with adults with childhood trauma/complex trauma, couples/relational systems, chronic pain/illness, and queer/trans/non-binary individuals and relationships, I work collaboratively with clients to create spaces for care, depth, and connection.
I view my clients as the experts of their own lives, experience(s), and self. I believe we each carry the "answer(s)" we need most within, but are not always taught how to get there or how to tune in with ourselves. During our time together, you will be given an opportunity to explore and "be with" yourself in potentially deeper and new ways. I believe the exploration of self is interwoven with the unfolding of our life.
Do you worry constantly, feel on edge or have a persistent fear of failure or judgment? Feel like you’re not good enough, not living the life you want to live, or that you’ve lost touch with the things that bring you contentment with little hope that you can live life in a fulfilling way? Have you had a traumatic experience that left you feeling disconnected and having a hard time trusting people, with the need to protect and numb yourself? If so, I may be able to help.
Between and within humans, multiple perspectives exist, and what is discovered depends on how observing happens. This understanding has led to my intense compassion for human suffering, and delight in the unique paths forged. It is possible to ultimately drop attachments contributing to suffering, in order to experience the innately loving conscious beings we are. Here the focus is less on "right and wrong" and more on the wise discernment of what ACTUALLY contributes to suffering.

My ideal clients are interested in exploring their relationship with drugs, alcohol, and/or sexual behavior. Wherever you are in the change process, we'll work together to develop insight, set achievable goals. My clients are motivated to live life to their fullest potential, and I'm proud to support them in exploring some of the maladaptive coping tools that have gotten in the way. Looking forward to chatting with you!
While I’ve worked with clients from all different kinds of communities, I’m particularly passionate about supporting people who are working through sexual shame, navigating ethical non-monogamy, and those who identify as queer/BIPOC. I believe that community is at the core of our being. Despite that, relationships (platonic, romantic, or otherwise) are complicated. Navigating challenges that arise and staying curious can allow you to find ways to heal and discover your truth.
