I create a gentle, empowering environment for people to transform shame into healing, self-compassion, and tangible relief.

 

I am passionate and experienced at working with:

- Survivors of abusive relationships, sexual assault, stalking

- Sex and relationships

- Fertility struggles

- New moms, mom guilt, scary thoughts, and pregnancy

- Queer, trans, non-binary, and questioning individuals

- Panic attacks and anxiety

- Unpacking and transforming biases based on privileged identities

- People who have never done therapy before

 

You will get to know yourself better and strengthen your capacity for experiencing strong emotions, asking for support, and offering yourself genuine nurturing.

 

I utilize these in my therapy work:

- Authenticity

- Humor

- Intersectional Feminist Theory

- Active listening

- Narrative therapy

- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)

- Internal Family Systems.

 

I am a queer non-binary therapist who loves trees, music, chocolate, and learning.
