I know what it’s like to feel unseen, dismissed, or like your struggles don’t quite fit the mold of what people expect. Maybe you’ve been told your pain is all in your head, that you’re too sensitive, or that you just need to try harder—but deep down, you know there’s more to the story. Whether you’re navigating chronic illness, unlearning harmful narratives about your body, processing trauma, or exploring your identity, this is a space where you don’t have to explain or justify your experience. You are already enough, just as you are.

Therapy That Meets You Where You Are—Affirming, Creative, and Client-Led

You deserve a space where you don’t have to shrink yourself, mask your needs, or explain why the world feels overwhelming. As a queer, neurodivergent, chronically ill, fat, secular therapist, I know firsthand how hard it can be to find care that truly gets it. Whether you’re navigating complex trauma, living in a body that the world wasn’t built for, processing medical trauma, or unlearning years of masking and self-doubt, I offer a therapeutic space where you are seen, you are valid, and you don’t have to fit into anyone else’s mold.

My practice is client-led, social justice-oriented, and deeply affirming. I work primarily with queer, neurodivergent, and chronically ill individuals, as well as those with CPTSD and systemic trauma, recognizing that healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens in relationship, in safety, and in a space that honors all of who you are. Therapy with me isn’t about forcing change or following rigid models; it’s about collaborating, experimenting, and finding what actually works for you in ways that are sustainable and empowering.

How I Approach Therapy

I integrate Attachment-Based Therapy, Art Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and somatic approaches, tailoring each session to what you need in the moment. If you’ve ever struggled to put words to your experiences, art-based and body-focused practices can offer new ways to explore and express what feels unnameable. If past therapy has felt invalidating or too structured, we’ll create a space that centers your autonomy, your way of processing, and your unique strengths.

For neurodivergent clients, I take a fully affirming, non-pathologizing approach, recognizing that many struggles come not from being neurodivergent but from living in a world that doesn’t accommodate you. We might explore masking, sensory needs, executive functioning challenges, or unlearning internalized ableism, always with the understanding that you don’t need to change who you are to deserve support.

For clients with complex trauma and CPTSD, I focus on building nervous system regulation, increasing a sense of safety in relationships, and helping you reconnect with your own agency. We won’t force reprocessing or dive into the hardest moments before you’re ready. Instead, we’ll work together to develop tools that help you feel more grounded, more in control, and more able to engage with life on your terms.

Above all, my goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel seen, and support you in creating a life that feels like yours—not one shaped by survival alone. Therapy should be a space where you can exist fully, without apology. I’m here to help you build that space.
