Are you or your child neurodivergent or LGBTQIA+ and navigating life’s ups and downs? You deserve a space to be yourself, share your story, and feel heard without judgment. You are the expert on you, and in our work together my goal is to ensure you feel seen, validated, and gently challenged when necessary to meet your personal goals whether that’s building connections, finding community, or creating a positive identity. Together, we’ll empower you to live authentically and confidently on your terms.
As a neurodivergent therapist—late-diagnosed ADHDer and former hairdresser—I provide neuro-affirming, gender-affirming, and trauma-informed care tailored to your needs. I understand standard methods don’t always fit, so I use non-traditional approaches. I’ll help you build a strong identity and confidently embrace your true self.
Whatever you're facing, know that you’re not alone. Together, we can tackle these challenges. Think of therapy as a journey where we explore your strengths and navigate obstacles side by side. Whether you're seeking coping strategies, self-discovery, or healing, I invite you to reach out. I can’t wait to connect and see how we can grow together!
