my approach

My approach is holistic, meaning I attend to your whole (beautifully complex and intersectional) story—mind, body, history, relationships, culture—with humility, care, and gentle curiosity.

Much of my work is experiential which means I see therapy as an invitation to explore your life experiences, rather than explain them. This looks like moving beyond only verbal processing - to also attend to the emotional, somatic, creative and relational parts of our experience in real time.

I work with people who feel emotionally overwhelmed or disconnected—often due to past relational harm or the ongoing stress of navigating a world that hasn’t always made space for who they are. For many, therapy becomes a place to understand themselves more deeply, to build more nurturing relationships with themselves and others, and to move beyond survival toward a greater sense of integrity, meaning, self-worth, and joy.

While I draw from many different therapeutic traditions, our work together is always guided by what feels most supportive and meaningful to you. I prioritize collaboration, consent, and autonomy at every step.

Some of the frameworks that inform my practice include:

• Intersectional feminist and queer-affirming perspectives

• Interpersonal neurobiology and attachment theory (how our relationships shape us, past and present)

• Somatic psychology (body-based tools for healing)

• Mindfulness and self-compassion

• Parts work

• Harm reduction

• Neurodiversity-affirming care
