My work is informed by my lived experiences and identities, including: late-diagnosed ADHD, coming into queerness in adulthood, living life in a larger body, and growing up believing that other people’s needs mattered more than my own.

I know what it’s like to feel emotionally disconnected, to wonder if something is wrong with you, and to later realize that surviving by disconnection also dims joy.

My path to becoming a therapist came from knowing, deeply, what it’s like to long for the kind of care and support you never received.

This work is sacred to me. I don’t take lightly the privilege of witnessing someone’s truth, their patterns, their pain, or their resilience.

I am committed to staying keenly aware of how my identities and lived experiences shape the way I attune to and understand the emotional, relational, and cultural realities my clients face. They inform the way I notice nuance, the way I hold complexity, and the way I create space for people who have spent much of their lives feeling “othered,” misunderstood, or pressured to shrink themselves.

My role is to help you feel seen in your complexity, held in your tenderness, and supported as you rediscover the parts of yourself that deserve more room to breathe.

As a queer-affirming, neurodivergent-informed, trauma-aware, and Health at Every Size (HAES)-aligned therapist, I understand how identity, lived experience, and culture shape the way we move through life — and how those forces often determine what we’ve had to hold alone.

I don’t come in with assumptions about who you are or how you “should” heal, and I’m not here to “fix” you. Instead, I show up with supportive curiosity and am here to help you discover the path that fits you.

While I don’t assume that our identities or experiences are the same, I do know what it’s like to navigate a world that wasn’t designed with you in mind. That lived understanding allows me to meet you with a kind of care, and cultural responsiveness that goes deeper than simple acceptance. It’s not just that you will be affirmed here; it’s that you will be truly seen and supported.

My approach is relational at its core and that means therapy isn’t something that happens to you, it’s something we build together. You’re always welcome to name what’s working, what feels off, or what you’re curious about. That openness becomes part of the healing.

I pay close attention to the parts of you that speak softly and feel conflicted, guarded, tender, prickly, or just plain exhausted. Some sessions bring insight; others bring emotion, grounding, or calm clarity. Sessions frequently include pauses, deep breaths, and the occasional shared laugh when something suddenly clicks.
