Introduction

Welcome! I am a fat, queer, neurodivergent, BIPOC therapist cultivating a space in the mental health world for people like me! In my work, I support women and/or queer folx needing support in navigating mood challenges, trauma, interpersonal issues, and life transitions. Right now, you may feel lost, stuck, or unsure how to make the changes you want to see in your life. You may be seeking relief from past trauma, clarity about your experiences, better relationships, or tools to thrive as your authentic self. In our work together, we will rewrite your narrative to find peace, understanding, and meaning. I utilize a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive approach to navigate various issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, racial issues, culture/identity issues, and relationship challenges. I also work with those navigating chronic conditions, disability, neurodivergence, body image challenges, and sex related issues. I understand that seeking therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’ve never had a space that truly affirmed your identity or experiences! If you’re ready to start your journey with someone who will truly see and walk with you, I invite you to connect with me. Even if I'm not your perfect fit, I'll work to help you find your match!
