I’ve spent nearly 15 years in mental health, from hospitals and psychiatric units to private practice. Along the way, I saw how often the system harms the people it’s meant to support. I built this practice as an alternative, centered on authenticity, connection, and liberation.
My work draws from Internal Family Systems, DBT, somatic and mindfulness-based practices, and ecotherapy, blending evidence-based methods with a human, flexible approach.
I don’t sit outside your experience. I work with you inside it, finding a way through together.
As a neurodivergent, queer, and trans person, I understand what it means to navigate a world that wasn’t built for you.
Outside of work, you will probably find me rock climbing, painting, learning languages, playing trumpet or ukulele, or wandering through nature with my dog Sansa and two black cats, Melog and Khoshekh.
I am a part of this community, not someone on the outside looking in .
I know the language, the culture, the struggle, and the joy. I understand neurodivergent life, queer and trans identity, chosen family, kink, non monogamy, community care, and the weight of systems that were never built for us.
When you sit with me, you are sitting with someone who already gets the reality you live in.
