Please note: emailing is preferred to calling! - Are you tired of having to educate people about your non-mainstream feeling and labels? It's exhausting to live in a world that asks us to mask our true identities, needs, and the most unique and beautiful parts of ourselves. We all deserve a safe space where we can explore the masks that we wear and the selves beneath them. I have lived experience with neurodivergence, dissociation, polyamory, and am queer and nonbinary, so I understand how valuable it is to have a therapist who understands intersectional experiences and can provide a space for non-judgmental authenticity in healing. I use a variety of somatic, relational, and strength-based modalities and incorporate aspects of parts work/IFS and brainspotting (an offshoot of EMDR) for trauma processing in my practice. I also love to customize my approach for each client, and figure out together what works best for your brain. I offer a humanistic (human forward!) approach. I love working with "tenderqueers", the LGBTQIA& community, and the polyamory/consensual nonmonogamy community. I'm passionate about providing neurodivergent affirming care, including strategies for better managing anxiety and depression, dissociation, sensory needs, autism, and ADHD. I love working with DID/OSDD/plural clients as well and am plural myself.
