As a queer-identified and spiritually-identified woman in an interracial, same-sex marriage, I integrate many layers. I work with clients that have complex experiences. Many communities honor one part of our identity while ignoring the other.
In my practice, I actively include all your layers: LGBTQ+, GNC/Enby, race, ethnicity, Autistic/ Aspergers/ Neurodivergence, spirituality, and all other experiences existing outside the white supremacist hetero-patriarchy.Diverse people need to be able to tell their stories.

With this in mind, I approach trauma from an informed, client-centered perspective. I attune to my client's social-emotional experience and weave in the latest treatments in neuropsychology.
Living with chronic pain, fatigue, or Fibromyalgia can feel so isolating in an ableist society. If you live with these conditions, you probably feel misunderstood by friends, family, employers, and doctors.
