How We'll Work Together
Therapy with me is relational, creative, and depth-oriented. We'll blend art-making, conversation, and body-based awareness to help you reconnect with yourself, understand your patterns, and move forward with more clarity and confidence.
I work from the belief that we all carry stories, emotions, and patterns shaped by early relationships and life experiences. Some of these are conscious, but many live beneath the surface—in our bodies, in our relationships, and in the parts of ourselves we don't always understand.
Together, we'll gently explore these layers. Not to "fix" you, but to create space for self-understanding, compassion, and real change.
Who I Work With
I specialize in supporting:
Queer, trans, and non-binary adults seeking an affirming space to explore identity, relationships, and belonging
Neurodiverse individuals (ADHD, autism, HSP) navigating a world not built for how their brains work
Trauma survivors healing from complex trauma, PTSD, or developmental wounds
Those struggling with:
-
Eating disorder recovery and body image concerns
-
Anxiety and depression that won't quit
-
Disconnection from yourself or others
-
Relationship patterns that keep repeating
-
The weight of masking who you really are
Age ranges: Adolescents 14+, young adults 18-25, and adults 26-60
My Approach: What Makes This Different
Art Therapy & Somatic Work
You're here because: Talk therapy alone hasn't been enough. There's something you can't quite put into words.
How we'll work: Through art-making, movement, and body-based practices, we'll access the emotions, memories, and parts of your experience that live beyond language. Art becomes a way to express what's stuck, process what's hard to say, and discover new understanding.
Attachment-Focused Therapy
You're here because: Relationships feel confusing, overwhelming, or unsafe—and you're not sure why you keep ending up in the same patterns.
How we'll work: We'll explore how early attachment experiences shaped the way you connect with others (and yourself). You'll learn to recognize your patterns, understand where they come from, and build new ways of relating that feel safer and more fulfilling.
Parts Work (Informed by Internal Family Systems)
You're here because: You feel at war with yourself. One part wants to try, another part shuts down. One part craves connection, another pushes people away.
How we'll work: We'll explore the different "parts" inside you—the protectors, the wounded ones, the ones who've been trying so hard to keep you safe. You'll learn to understand these parts with compassion instead of judgment, and find more inner peace.
Psychodynamic & Gestalt Therapy
You're here because: You keep running into the same struggles, but you're not sure why. You want to understand yourself at a deeper level.
How we'll work: We'll look beneath the surface to uncover unconscious patterns, unfinished emotional business, and the stories you've been carrying. Through reflection, creative expression, and in-the-moment awareness, you'll gain insight and shift old ways of being.
What to Expect in Sessions
Sessions with me are warm, authentic, interactive, and sometimes playful. I'm not a blank-slate therapist—I show up as a real person, and I invite you to do the same.
Depending on what you need, a session might include:
-
Creating art together or independently (no artistic skill required!)
-
Processing emotions through gentle body-based exercises
-
Talking through what's coming up for you
-
Exploring relationship dynamics in real time
-
Experimenting with new ways of thinking, feeling, or being
There's no "right way" to do this. We'll figure out what works for you.

Insurance & Payment
I am a private-pay therapist and do not accept insurance. This allows me to work at my own pace, focus fully on your needs, and avoid the limitations insurance companies place on therapy.
You are entitled to receive a Good Faith Estimate before beginning therapy to ensure full transparency of anticipated fees and costs.
Some clients choose to use out-of-network benefits or submit superbills for partial reimbursement. I'm happy to provide the necessary documentation.
