  • Teletherapy/Virtual Sessions

Hi there! I’m a queer, neurodivergent therapist who has been described by others as “punk rock meets Mother Goose.” I specialize in complex and single event trauma, anxiety, dissociation, attachment, mood disorders, and navigating life with late-diagnosed ADHD and autism. In-depth experiential work to address longstanding emotional patterns is especially my jam. My work is heavily informed by queer & feminist theory, disability justice, liberation psychology, and lived experience. For folks curious about my specific modalities, I use parts/inner child work, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy.

Curiosity, humor, and compassion are central to my approach to sessions. We are, after all, two people living in a messy reality just trying to figure it out together, 50-60 minutes at a time. Screaming, crying, quietly lying on the floor to contemplate life itself – all of it is welcome here.

I offer online sessions only and work exclusively with adults 18+ living in Colorado. My current availability is limited to afternoon/evening hours on Sundays & Mondays.
