Life isn’t always easy. Whether you’re wrestling with chronic pain, navigating neuro‑divergence, or healing from religious trauma,  you deserve a therapist who truly sees you and affirms your truth.

Why Choose Me?

• Lived Experience & Clinical Expertise – I have personally managed chronic pain, ADHD, and doctors not believing my complaints because of my identity, this gives me an insider’s empathy paired with evidence‑based techniques.
• Intersectional Lens – My practice integrates chronic‑illness management, neuro‑divergent strategies, and gender‑affirming therapy under one compassionate umbrella.
• Years of Experience - I have been working with and advocating for people who are neurodivergent for over 15 years beginning with my work in foster care, then in home therapy and finally in private practice. I began working with medically fragile children in foster care and then moved into end of life as a hospice social worker and then private practice with clients with chronic health conditions.

You May Be Experiencing One (or More) of These Challenges

What Our Sessions Look Like

1. Warm, Non‑Judgmental Intake – I honor the name, pronouns, and story you bring.
2. Collaborative Goal‑Setting – Together we identify concrete, achievable milestones.
3. Evidence‑Based Techniques – CBT for anxiety, mindfulness for pain, executive‑function tools for ADHD, and self compassion practices where I never ask you to mask in session.
4. Resource Integration – Referral networks, support groups, and letters of support for medical intervention when needed.

A Little About Me (Beyond the Couch)

When I’m not in session, you’ll find me at a live concert—letting the rhythm reset my spirit—or cuddled up with my rescue dogs and cats, who remind me daily that joy often arrives on a wagging tail or a soft purr. Those simple moments keep me grounded and inspire the same gentle curiosity I bring to every therapeutic encounter.
