About

Therapy should feel like a real, human conversation—one where you can exhale, show up fully, and not have to explain or mask who you are. My approach is integrative and collaborative. I draw from my training in EMDR, yoga therapy, DBT, sex therapy, and Buddhist psychology. I believe in weaving together the science of the mind with the wisdom of the body. I’m also a neuro-affirming therapist, which means I don’t hand out “shoulds” or cookie-cutter tools. What works for a neurotypical brain often doesn’t fit for a neurodivergent one—and that’s okay. Together, we figure out what actually works for you.

Many of my clients are late-diagnosed, spiritually deconstructing, or working to reconnect with their bodies and sexuality after years of self-blame, chronic pain, or disconnection.
