Values and Perspectives

My perspective was shaped by queer, neurodivergent, metal, and alternative communities—spaces that taught me to question the status quo and build real belonging for anyone outside the mold. Therapy shouldn't be about bending yourself to fit a rigid world; it’s a space to reclaim your life on your own terms.

I bring my whole, authentic self to our sessions—band tees, honest talk, and an expressive face that makes "blank slate" therapy impossible. For me, a lot of healing relies on humor, authenticity, creativity, intuition, and the radical permission to rest. I care about the full picture of who you are: your neurodivergence, your identity, your history, and all the clever ways you’ve navigated a tough world. You are a complex human being, not a diagnosis to fix or a problem to manage.

I tend to be a very present and intuitive person and therapist. I pay close attention to what’s living beneath the words—the subtle shifts, gut feelings, and unsaid moments—so we can respond to what is actually showing up without judgment, shame or criticism.

You don't need to perform, mask, or have it all together here. Whether you're burned out, navigating a neurotypical world, or just exhausted from trying to squeeze into boxes that were never built for you—you belong here. Bring your messy emotions, your special interests, and your whole self. Let's step out of survival mode and build a life that actually feels like yours.

Outside of therapy

On a personal note, I’m a queer, neurodivergent human, a parent, partner, and friend continuously doing the work to unlearn systemic and intergenerational trauma while learning to build more community. I’m also a Covid Long-Hauler who has navigated chronic illness and pain for years. Outside the office, I’m learning to play the drums—holding onto the dream of one day playing in a band and opening for some of my favorites. I also enjoy weightlifting (so I can smash the patriarchy!)
