I bring a unique perspective as a queer, neurodivergent, ex-christian, polyamorous parent. I understand the struggles and triumphs that come with embracing your authentic self in the face of societal expectations. My experiences inform how I support you bravely navigating the changes you want to make in your own life.
Just like you, I found myself doing all the right things and still struggling.
I had been in talk therapy for years and it felt like I was spinning my wheels. Why couldn't I find the reason why life felt so difficult? That's what led me to discover EMDR, Brainspotting, IFS, and Somatic healing.
These practices changed my life. I was able to finally slow down and become in-tune with myself. I began to let go of past pain and access my true self. Instead of looking to others to heal me or save me, I became my own healer.
Now, it's not in spite of my journey but because of it that I offer you the skills to heal yourself and a safe space to explore what's going on underneath the surface.
I understand the struggle, and I'm here to guide and support you on your path to healing.

I began my career as a School Counselor at Key Middle School in Virginia in 2015, where I excelled in various roles and earned accolades such as Support Employee of the Year and Leader of the Year.
I led a powerful student activist group, rallying for gun safety and lobbying for national legislative action. This effort resulted in a meeting with Senator Kaine, highlighting the impact of dedicated leadership and student voice.
As a catalyst for change, I facilitated open dialogues, initiated equity initiatives, and formed student groups, establishing safe spaces in the schools to explore identities and recognize systemic oppression. Working as a school counselor isn't just a profession—it is a deeply personal journey that has left an indelible mark on my heart.
Today, I continue to focus on advocacy and dismantling oppressive systems in my approach. Working at as a school counselor changed me and fueled a commitment to continue to create positive change on a personal level.
