My Story

Does something about your experience feel off? Maybe you are hurting, stuck repeating the same cycles, feeling burned out, or lonely. Maybe life feels out of control, you are questioning who you are supposed to be, or you are tired of trying to fit into systems that were never built for you. Whatever challenges you are facing, I offer therapy that is validating, grounded, and deeply respectful of your lived experience.

I am a queer-affirming and sex-positive therapist who works with people of all identities and relationship structures, including cisgender folks, queer and trans people, and those in monogamous, non-monogamous, or polyamorous relationships. My work is rooted in the lens of neurodiversity, which means I honor different ways of thinking, feeling, and experiencing the world. Therapy is adapted to fit you rather than expecting you to fit a rigid model.

My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In sessions, we focus on noticing your experience, clarifying what truly matters to you, and taking action that aligns with your values even when life feels difficult or messy.

My own experience with chronic pain and anxiety shapes how I show up as a therapist. I care about pacing, honesty, and respecting the wisdom and limits of the body. I believe healing is not about fixing what is “wrong,” but about cultivating flexibility, awareness, and a kinder, more supportive relationship with yourself.

There is no perfect time to start therapy, but you don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. If you feel we might be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation. Together, we can work to slow down, find your footing, and start living in a way that feels right for you.

I specialize in:

• Anxiety & Depression

• Chronic Pain

• Life Transitions

• Gender & Men’s Issues

• Grief

• Addiction

• Meaning & Purpose
