I am a queer, autistic mammal who is curious about folks’ inner worlds and backstories, and passionate about supporting their healing and growth.
Adults and teenagers in colonized Virginia and Maryland can meet with me for individual, virtual therapy.
In our sessions you can expect me to show up on screen as my authentic, awkward self. We can bundle up in blankets and snack together, get on the floor to play with our pets, or turn our cameras off – whatever is nurturing for you that day. I tend to be quiet and warm, with bursts of passion about interests and justice! I don’t view myself as an expert, but rather I’m a strongly empathetic, insightful, and nerdy guide with valuable lived experience and ongoing learning.
My support for therapy participants is non-pathologizing, non-carceral, trauma-informed, culturally humble, and unique to each person. I view my connection with you as a sacred honor.
While I am curious and passionate about all kinds of folks, some of my favorite therapy participants to work with are the queers, autistic community, people struggling with relational, religious, and sexual trauma, highly sensitive people, and folks who are self-aware but struggle with processing through emotions on a deeper level.
In terms of therapy modalities, I enjoy primarily using Internal Family Systems (IFS) with somatic techniques. Depending on your needs and preferences, I also pull from neurodiversity-affirming Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, expressive arts therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
I’m critical of the mental health industrial complex, and am consistently working to decolonize my therapeutic approach.
Outside of healing work, I enjoy wandering in the woods, painting, crafting (especially with natural materials and trash), talking to my 3 cats, eating rich-tasting food, decorating my home, practicing earth-based spirituality, and playing video games like Red Dead Redemption II and Animal Crossing.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor for Maryland (Currently self-pay clients only), and a Resident in Counseling for Virginia, under the clinical supervision of Kat Devereaux.
