I am a licensed clinical social worker and proudly provide inclusive and trauma informed therapy. I am committed to creating safety and respect, and fiercely remove unnecessary barriers and gatekeeping to affirming and competent therapy.

I self-identify as neurodivergent and queer, and many clients work with me because of my expertise and because they prefer working with a therapist who has lived experience.

What makes me come alive as a therapist is helping my clients reach their goals, become their authentic selves, recognize their unique abilities, and find news ways to address old and ongoing problems and stressors.

I value ongoing development, and engage in focused training and consultation with a variety of incredible voices in the neurodiversity affirming field, all of whom continue to deepen and inspire the services I offer, as well as empower me to show up as my whole self in both my personal and professional spaces.
