Hiiiiiii.
Nice to see you here :) I’m glad you made it.
Welcome to my private practice —— a virtual healing space for the misfits, the outcasts, the weirdos + the scapegoats. For the exceptionally gifted “burn-out kids” the high achievers, the perfectionists + the “old souls.” I support my clients in unlearning harmful conditioning + guiding a reconnection with the Self, others + with the natural world.
It is my belief that healing isn’t possible without acknowledging the harm caused by systems of oppression + structural racism. My practice centers intersectional feminist values + disability justice. I am anti-racist + LGBTQIA+ celebratory.
My clients are emotionally aware, intellectualizing, analytic beings who question authority + think for themselves. I work with highly sensitive folx who experience obsessive thoughts, emotional reactivity, mental compulsions + sensory overload. I specialize in working with Autistic, ADHD + OCD individuals. My clients may have a formal diagnosis, have gone through self-diagnosis or suspect they are neurodivergent.
My therapeutic approach is transpersonal, psychoanalytic, relational + deep. I am attachment-focused and work from a client-centered + trauma-focused lens.
As your therapist, I will create space for you to go deeper. Whatever needs to present itself will. Therapy is a space for you + it will be what it needs to be.

I specialize in working with "Talented & Gifted burn-out kids" (many times un-diagnosed or late diagnosed Autistic, ADHD +/or OCD) who are hyper-sensitive + self-aware.
I serve primarily Gen Z & Zennial clients but enjoy working with all ages :) I work with individuals, couples + families.
I provide LGBTQIA+ and gender affirming care and specialize in working with the queer community.
I specialize in treating complex trauma and specifically family of origin trauma, as well as healing attachment wounding. I am trained in Brainspotting.Another speciality of mine is in supporting parents, specifically survivors of trauma within their family systems who now have children of their own. I also love supporting neurodivergent parents raising neurodivergent kids.
I believe that psychotherapy is most effective when approached as a long-term process of growth and healing, rather than a quick or temporary solution. While short-term therapy can be helpful for addressing specific concerns, meaningful and lasting change often develops gradually over time. This process allows for deeper exploration of patterns, the strengthening of coping skills, and the creation of sustainable improvements in emotional well-being and relationships.
Each client’s journey is unique, and the length of treatment is always tailored to individual needs, but my orientation emphasizes the value of committing to the therapeutic process as an investment in long-term health and personal growth.

My clients describe me as real, calm, empowering, authentic, open-minded, solution-focused + attuned.
I am skilled at recognizing patterns in the relationship behavior of individuals + family systems. I have a niche interest in intergenerational trauma and understanding the behavior of different generations--what trickles down through families when healing doesn't happen. -
I am a psychodynamic therapist. This means I aim to help people understand their unconscious thoughts and emotions and how they may affect their mental health and behavior.
I am not a “blank slate therapist” or a “worksheet therapist” :)
