About

I liken my approach to talking to a trusted friend with a professional edge. I am assertive and kind, and my goal is to listen and provide constructive feedback that you're ready to accept. I work best with adults and have experience with all types of mental health diagnoses. The issues I address virtually include Autism, Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, relationship challenges, self-esteem, codependency, parenting, and more. For those who have tried traditional approaches like medication and therapy and still feel stuck, I offer Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) as an alternative path toward relief.

For most of the initial session, I will need information about your personal background, family history, and medical details to understand you better. Some questions may feel overly general, while others may feel somewhat invasive or private. Keep in mind that you don't need to divulge anything that makes you feel uncomfortable, but your answers will help.

I enjoy working with adult folx who identify as LGBTQIA2S+, queer, ADHD/Autistic, neurodivergent, 2E/Gifted (or formerly gifted and now just burnt-out), creative, artistic, alt, and anyone who has just felt like an “other”. I invite you to contact me and let me know how I can support you!
