I’m the therapist for you if….
- You’re looking for liberation-oriented, neurodivergent-affirming, queer and gender-affirming, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and sex/kink-positive care.
- You’ve experienced trauma and want to better understand your brain, nervous system, protective patterns, and the ways you’ve learned to survive.
- You want to understand your relationships more deeply — including attachment patterns, boundaries, conflict, intimacy, and the ways you’ve learned to relate to yourself and others.
- You’re trying to make sense of the ways your culture, family, faith, or upbringing have shaped who you are, and you’re looking for a space to explore that without having to explain every detail.
I work with adults who are trying to make sense of themselves, their relationships, their histories, and how to feel alive in a world that doesn’t always welcome the way you’re wired, who you love, or who you are. I’m especially passionate about supporting neurodivergent, queer, trans and gender-diverse, and racialized folks navigating trauma, complex family dynamics, identity, relationships, emotional overwhelm, burnout and major life transitions.
Maybe you’ve spent a lot of time adapting to other people, keeping the peace, masking, overthinking, trying to be ‘good,’ or whatever else was expected of you. Maybe you’re at a point where you’re wondering what it might look like to step off autopilot and into a life with more presence, intention, and embodied choice.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and flexible. I care a lot about the relationship we build in therapy. I aim for this work to feel collaborative, honest, human – and most of all, FUN! Expect laughter and tomfoolery 🙂
I’m interested in questioning the rules, pushing back on expectations, and making room for complexity and contradiction. To me, the magic lies in what becomes possible when we’re willing to look beyond what we’ve been told is possible.

More About Me!
- A proud patron of the arts - you will often catch me at a concert, a show, or at the cinema
- Reformer Pilates has been such a fun way for me to stay active that reminds me of my former gymnastics and dance years!
- Finding dog-friendly restaurants and cafes to visit with my partner and our two dogs (children)
- If I’m relaxing at home, I’m often playing video games on my Nintendo Switch (right now it’s Zelda - Tears of the Kingdom), tending to my plants, working on a crochet or knitting project, or having a movie night
