ABOUT

I specialize in working with teens, adults, and couples navigating chronic illness, disability, neurodivergence, life transitions, relationships,  and medical trauma. I also provide queer-affirming therapy and support for parents of neurodivergent children. I am an advanced doctoral trainee completing my PsyD in Clinical Psychology and provide therapy under the supervision of a licensed clinician.


This can look like:

  • Feeling disconnected from your body after illness, pain, disability, or diagnosis

  • Navigating neurodivergence, masking, burnout, sensory needs, or feeling misunderstood

  • Exploring sexuality, gender, or identity in a space that feels affirming and judgment-free

  • Struggling with intimacy, sex, or physical connection in your relationship

  • Feeling guilty, burdensome, or misunderstood by partners or loved ones

  • Navigating caregiving dynamics, resentment, or shifting relationship roles

  • Grieving changes in identity, independence, sexuality, or future plans

  • Feeling exhausted from constantly managing symptoms, and appointments


My approach is primarily psychodynamic, meaning we explore not only what is happening in the present, but also how past experiences, relationships,  patterns, and the ways you have learned to understand yourself may be shaping your current life. I aim to balance depth with approachability, using gentle reflection, mindfulness, and the occasional humor to make hard work feel a little lighter. My work is  trauma-informed, strengths-based, and queer-affirming, creating space to better understand yourself while building greater self-compassion, empowerment, and connection.


On a personal note, I never leave home without my emotional support water bottle and iced coffee. When I am not studying or in session, you’ll find me hanging out with my cats & Fiancé, listening to Taylor Swift, or unwinding with reality TV (when time allows!).
