About My Work:

Therapy with me isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about making space for your truth and most authentic life. Together, we talk about your needs, your identity, your rhythms. Building a life that works with your brain and body, not against them.

I specialize in:

  • Eating disorders and disordered eating across all body sizes and gender identities

  • Supporting queer and trans folks in navigating identity, trauma, and systemic harm

  • Working with people living with bipolar disorder and/or psychosis who want more than just crisis survival

  • Recovery from religious trauma and high-control groups, including purity culture

  • Anxiety and depression that feel like they’ve taken over your inner voice

  • Substance use and addiction recovery, especially when tied to trauma or identity

  • Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy

  • Comprehensive psychological assessments for autism and ADHD in adults and teens

I am a queer-affirming, neurodiversity-affirming therapist. I practice from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive lens. My style of therapy is warm, collaborative, and direct. You deserve care that sees the full picture of who you are. Let’s start there.
