I am a certified somatic practitioner and integrate elements of CBT into my practice.

As a queer, disabled, chronically ill, and neurodivergent person, I strive to continually decolonize and reindigenize my mind, body, and practice so I can work with clients from an anti-colonial, anti-racist, and trauma-sensitive framework. I work with women, femmes, and non-binary folks, especially those at the intersections of disability, neurodivergence, and chronic illness/pain. (Allies welcome!)

Much of modern and Western psychology is rooted in the same systems that oppress us today. I am committed to life-long learning and unlearning as I do my part to work towards a more embodied, decolonial, and liberated future for all. I believe you are the expert of your own lived experience, and it is my role as a practitioner to walk alongside you as we collaborate on interventions and goals. I view your various and intersecting identities as something to be celebrated and your struggles as something to be approached with compassion and non-judgment. I integrate liberation, queer, and feminist theory with indigenous somatic practices.

I believe that simply being “affirming” is not enough and that marginalized folks deserve practitioners who share their lived experiences. If you have been overlooked, stigmatized, or mistreated in a therapeutic setting, I am so sorry. And I have been there too. You deserve a healing space defined by humility, understanding, safety, collaboration, and expansion.

I am originally from East Tennessee and deeply believe in the magic of Appalachia. I owe much of my values to the community-minded, rural Appalachians who have influenced my life. In my free time, I like to read spicy romantasy with morally-gray leads, watch cozy YouTube videos, try new coffee shops, watch Studio Ghibli movies, scroll on TikTok, kiss my three black cats on their little foreheads, and hang out with my spouse.
