Have you ever been misgendered by a tree? Me neither! This is why combining inclusive therapy within our eco systems is so exciting for our work together. I offer feminist queer, trans, and gender-expansive affirming therapy for all identities! We'll place you within the context of your life and identify your human (and more than human) support systems!

Compassion and authenticity are catalysts for change. My goal is for our time to be nourishing. I’m direct and caring. I bring a liberatory, postmodern, and trauma-informed framework into my work. I have special training in disordered eating, depth psychology, expressive arts, and DBT. I support individual adults, teens, and families. Sliding Scale available

Youth - my clinical training began working with teens 14+, and I have supported many teens through big changes. I love working with queer and gender expansive teens and affirming their journey, experience, and support!
