About Me

My background

 

I work primarily with women's issues, neurodivergent individuals, and people processing various forms of trauma—including developmental, relational, and complex trauma. I strive to create a space where masking and survival strategies can be gently examined, not judged. Therapy with me often involves reconnecting with parts of the self that have been dismissed, silenced, or misunderstood.

My clinical approach blends attachment-focused work and practical tools for emotional regulation and nervous system support. 

Much of my work also involves unlearning internalized ableism, perfectionism, and productivity-based self-worth. I see therapy not as a place to "fix" people, but as a space to explore what it means to feel safe, empowered, and authentic—often for the first time.

I welcome clients exactly as they are—whether they communicate through words, silence, movement, or emotion—and work collaboratively to build trust and safety at a pace that feels respectful and sustainable.

Outside the therapy room, I continue to learn from the autistic and trauma survivor communities, whose voices deeply inform my practice. I believe healing is possible when we’re met with curiosity, presence, and respect.
