I specialize in therapy for people who live at the margins: neurodivergent adults and kids (especially with ADHD), queer, trans, and gender-expansive folx, those exploring kink or nontraditional relationships, people living with chronic illness or pain, and anyone navigating body shame, disordered eating, or internalized oppression.

As a queer, nonbinary, neurodivergent, fat therapist, I understand how painful it can be to feel judged or misunderstood by the very systems meant to support you. I bring lived experience, clinical skill, and deep respect for your brilliance and complexity into every session.
