I support folks who have stressful lives, want to improve their communication, maybe even endured individual traumas and want positive change. I believe that the client – therapist relationship "The Right Fit" is the single most important factor for successful treatment. It is my goal to provide a safe space that is non-judgmental, attuned to your needs, engaging and genuinely empathetic. This allows for a trusting and collaborative partnership to explore your thoughts, feelings, and patterns. M...
My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for folks to explore their gender and sexuality. Perhaps you identify as queer, bi, lesbian, gay, pan, ace, trans, nonbinary, agender, poly, kinky, something else, everything, and/or nothing at all. You deserve to have a space where you can learn more about the different parts of yourself without judgment or pressure. As a queer person who has sought out therapy myself, I know how challenging it can be to find an affirming therapist. E...

I like to think of therapy as a journey of inner exploration and I am along as a guide. I believe that therapy is most effective when it is a combination of intellectual understanding and emotional experience. In that regard, it feels like your feelings are our road signs that we are in the right track to self-growth. I try to not have a specific agenda going into sessions, but rather to go where it is you feel like you need to go at that time. I believe that it is my role to create a safe space...

The problem is, your own expectations feel impossible to meet, and the fear of failing (even by your own standards) can make every class deadline and life chore feel like too much. If you’re a student with ADHD or autism, this pressure can feel even heavier — especially when traditional help doesn’t always work for you. I help neurodiverse students like you — through tutoring and coaching se...
I am a queer fat femme who practices at the intersections of oppression, grief, trauma and liberation. I believe healing and liberation are our birthright.

My job as your therapist is to help you learn to connect with this deep som...
