I’m a licensed clinical psychologist providing evidence-based therapy for adults. My approach is humanistic, affirmative, and centered on holistic wellness. Within an often harsh and exclusive healthcare system, I aim to nurture, validate, and honor your value so you can safely explore and heal. I bring curiosity, authenticity, and humor to my work, integrating humanistic and behavioral techniques. I specialize in working with queer, neurodiverse, and disabled folks. I have spent my career learning to help manage anxiety, trauma, OCD, relational stressors, life transitions, and identity development.

As a queer, nonbinary, autistic, disabled therapist, I’m passionate about exploring the unique strengths and challenges of our diverse communities. My lived experience informs my work—I’ve been where you are and aim to help you reach a more healed, authentic, and values-aligned version of yourself while navigating stress, trauma, identity, etc.

Therapy is a space where you don’t have to go it alone. I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow. If you’re curious about working together or wondering whether therapy might help, I invite you to reach out—we’ll move at your pace, with care, curiosity, and compassion guiding the way.

My personal and professional values are grounded in authenticity, liberation, and radical acceptance. I believe healing happens when people are seen in the fullness of who they are — including their identities, lived experiences, and the ways they’ve been shaped by systemic oppression. These values guide me to create spaces that honor the whole person: their pain, power, and potential for growth.

Liberation and decolonized care are central to how I understand wellness. I view healing not as “fixing” individuals, but as supporting people in reclaiming agency and connection within systems that often deny both. This perspective helps me challenge traditional therapy models that can inadvertently reinforce harm, and instead center care that is collaborative, accessible, and affirming.

Authenticity is also essential to me — showing up as a whole human being allows for deeper, more honest relationships. My practice emphasizes transparency, mutual respect, and cultural humility. These principles invite trust and safety, especially for those who have felt unseen or invalidated in previous therapeutic settings.

In healing relationships, I apply these values through a blend of evidence-based practices (like ACT, CBT, and ERP) with a humanistic, relational approach. I listen with curiosity, celebrate difference, and validate the complex intersections of each client’s identity. By combining professional skill with empathy and shared humanity, I hope to create a space where clients can experience both compassion and empowerment in their healing journey.

My educational background and ongoing training reflect a commitment to both evidence-based practice and liberatory, identity-affirming care. I hold advanced clinical training in psychology and have pursued specialized coursework in trauma-informed treatment, neurodiversity-affirming practice, and the integration of mindful awareness in therapy.

In addition to formal education, I have engaged in extensive continuing education around Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for anxiety and OCD. These modalities provide a structured, research-supported foundation that I adapt to each individual’s unique lived experience.

Equally important to me is specialized training in decolonizing and liberatory frameworks. I have studied approaches that challenge traditional Eurocentric models of therapy by centering community, culture, and collective healing. This includes learning from disabled, queer, and BIPOC practitioners who are reimagining what healing can look like beyond pathologizing systems.

My professional development also includes training in working with LGBTQIA2S+ clients, Autistic and ADHD adults, and individuals living with chronic illness and disability. These experiences have deepened my ability to provide care that is not only clinically sound but also affirming, accessible, and grounded in social justice values.
