I am so honored you found yourself here.

I believe therapy works best when you feel deeply seen and understood — not analyzed, rushed, or expected to fit into someone else’s idea of healing. Before I’m a therapist, I’m a human who values gentleness, curiosity, authenticity, and compassion. It is truly a privilege to sit alongside people as they share their stories, their pain, and their hopes for something different.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and certified sex therapist whose work is grounded in somatic trauma therapy and experiential approaches. My practice centers adults navigating complex trauma, chronic illness, neurodivergence, sexuality, identity exploration, and the emotional realities of living within nervous systems shaped by survival.

As an openly queer therapist, I deeply value creating a space where LGBTQ+ individuals can show up fully without needing to explain, minimize, or defend who they are. I also have a special passion for supporting chronically ill and neurodivergent humans who may have spent much of their lives adapting themselves to environments that did not always honor their needs, sensitivities, or ways of moving through the world.

Therapy with me moves slowly and collaboratively. I believe healing cannot be forced, and that our nervous systems often need safety before they can move toward vulnerability, connection, or change. There is no pressure here to perform wellness, override your body, or “fix” yourself.

My work is grounded in experiential and somatic approaches, meaning we gently explore not only your thoughts and experiences, but also how those experiences live within the body, nervous system, emotions, and relationships. Together, we may notice patterns of protection, overwhelm, shutdown, grief, shame, longing, or disconnection while building greater self-understanding, regulation, and compassion.

This work can be especially meaningful for individuals healing from complex trauma, navigating chronic pain or illness, exploring sexuality and intimacy, processing medical or relational trauma, or reconnecting with parts of themselves that learned survival through guarding, masking, caretaking, or self-abandonment.

As a fellow queer, neurodivergent, and chronically ill human, I understand how exhausting it can be to move through a world that often asks us to disconnect from ourselves in order to belong. My hope is that therapy can become a space where you no longer have to do that — a space where your nervous system, your body, your identity, and your lived experience are met with tenderness and respect.

You deserve a therapeutic relationship where healing is approached with curiosity rather than judgment, and where authenticity is welcomed at the pace your nervous system can hold.

I would be honored to walk alongside you in that process.
