About

Our bodies, like houses, hold more than flesh and bones: they store memory, emotion, and the wisdom of lived experience. In difficult seasons, we often linger on the front lawn, while our house sags under years of strain, its peeling paint and fractured walls whispering of unattended wounds. Our therapeutic work begins with a gentle invitation to step back inside: to listen to overlooked sensations, notice what pressure and pain have worn down, and imagine moving back in again. Therapy isn’t about restoring the house to match the neighbors'. It’s about creating a home where you can live, rest, create, and belong on your own terms. View 7 Photos I specialize in working with queer, trans, neurodivergent, and disabled clients navigating concerns such as identity, grief, systems navigation, burnout, and trauma recovery. My therapeutic approach affirms difference, self-expression, and autonomy, centering clients' lived experiences within the broader social and cultural contexts that shape their lives.
