Introduction

My therapeutic approach is anti-oppressive, intersectional, empowering, and evidence-based. As a white, cis-presenting person, I acknowledge my privilege and care deeply about practicing cultural humility. As a queer, neurodivergent, disabled person in recovery, I hope to use my experiences to be a more validating, compassionate, and effective therapist. The modalities I most draw from are based in deepening our relationship with our bodies, parts of ourselves, and the present moment. Some of these modalities and frameworks include ERP, somatic awareness, mindfulness, parts and inner child work, DBT, and increasing nervous system regulation. I am passionate about working with clients with OCD, anxiety, challenges with self-worth, communication, relationships, and identity. I am dedicated to creating a space that feels affirming and empowering for all. I enjoy and have experience working with queer, disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, and BIPOC folks with intersecting and dynamic identities.
