As a queer person, a disaffiliate of conservative evangelicalism, a career shifter, and a childhood trauma survivor, I am all too familiar with the fears, grief and loss, confusion, and pain that come with those experiences. Like so many, I needed support in understanding myself, accepting myself, and learning how to engage with my Self and others differently; in ways that were softer and kinder, while also more genuinely confident and assertive. Maybe you can relate?

​

I offer a space for adults (19+) of diverse backgrounds and experiences to unburden, to explore, and to be heard and validated because I know how powerful it can be!

​

My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems and guided by self-compassion, inspired by Kristin Neff. I draw from attachment theory, inner child work, ACT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. I show up relationally with warmth, curiosity, and care—sometimes laughing, getting teary, or sitting in silence with you, always holding a safe, supportive space for your healing.

I practice with the belief that as compassion for all our parts, experiences and Self grow, we soften and are more likely to navigate through life with a sense of worthiness, making values-based decisions with greater confidence, and propelling ourselves forward into more authentic ways of being with ourselves, others, and the world.
