You’ve done the inner work — or at least tried — through podcasts, books, maybe even a few rounds of therapy.

But the burnout lingers, the people-pleasing sneaks back in, and your brain still runs at full speed even when your body is exhausted.

You want something more: therapy that meets your brain and your nervous system, that affirms neurodiversity and honors your story without pathologizing it.

I built my practice for people like you.

My Therapy Approach

My brain’s pretty neurospicy — so I’ve never been a one-size-fits-all kind of therapist. I blend evidence-based tools with curiosity, care, and deep respect for the ways your brain and body have learned to survive.

At the core of my work is a relational, values-driven approach grounded in:

  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – making space for hard thoughts and choosing what matters

  • Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) – shifting out of shame and into self-kindness

  • Person-Centered Therapy – showing up human-to-human, not expert-to-"client"

I also draw from:

  • Attachment theory and inner child work

  • IFS-informed parts work

  • Health at Every Size® (HAES®) and fat liberation frameworks

  • Social justice, anti-oppression, and harm reduction perspectives

You won’t get cookie-cutter advice or surprise worksheets.

You will get someone who listens deeply, tracks your patterns, and gently challenges the beliefs that keep you stuck.

What I Stand For

I work with people who have felt chronically misunderstood — the ones told they’re too much, too sensitive, too intense, or just too different.

People who’ve adapted so much, they’ve forgotten what authentic even feels like.

My practice is rooted in fat liberation, neurodiversity-affirming care, and the belief that healing is about freedom, not perfection.

This is a space for the queer folx, perfectionists, outsiders, deep feelers, late-diagnosed neurodivergent folks, and cycle-breakers.

You’re welcome here — in your mess, your weird, your fire.

I’m not here to fix you.

I’m here to walk beside you while you remember who you were before you had to make yourself smaller.

At the core of it all? I want you to know what it’s like to not feel so alone.

How I Live When I’m Not “On”

Outside the office, I’m usually barefoot, ideally near a window, having deep convos over tea and petting my cat like it’s a sacred ritual. I romanticize slow mornings like it’s a spiritual practice — because for me, it kind of is.

I nerd out on sensory processing, boundaries, and how to build systems that actually support executive functioning (especially for neurospicy brains like mine). Rearranging my space for the 17th time this month? It’s not chaos — it’s how I clear mental clutter and make room for curiosity.

I pause often — to notice the way the light shifts through a room or how sound softens when everything else goes still. And yes, I tend to accidentally turn most conversations into deep metaphors. It’s just how I’m wired.

If something here resonated, let’s talk.
You don’t have to do this alone — and you don’t have to have it all figured out first.
