they/them, she/her

I am a trauma-informed, licensed clinical professional counselor, educator, writer, and creative. My work is rooted in a psychoanalytic, relational approach—an invitation to pause and listen closely to the conscious and unconscious currents that shape how we grieve, heal, and live. As a queer feminist therapist, I work with grief in its many forms—death, endings, and the subtle, everyday losses—as well as trauma, identity exploration, shame, self-compassion, and the loneliness that often threads through these experiences. Together, we move at a thoughtful pace, tending to what calls for care and releasing what no longer serves, making space for deeper relationship with yourself and the world around you.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, recognizing that healing is both personal and collective, shaped by the systems in which we live. My practice draws on an intersectional, systemic perspective that evolves alongside the people I work with. I am passionate about building common ground, fostering spaces where marginalized individuals feel seen and heard, and honoring the unconscious as an active participant in the process.

Liminal Space Therapy is grounded in life’s in-between places—the thresholds where endings and beginnings meet. I am drawn to clients navigating transition, questioning societal norms, or seeking a more authentic relationship with themselves and others. To me, queering therapy is both an act of imagination and an act of resistance—loosening the grip of colonial, cisheteronormative, and capitalist narratives that have long shaped the field, and instead opening space for fluidity, multiplicity, and self-determination. It is about softening what has been made rigid, dismantling what has been imposed, and cultivating a practice where healing is expansive, relational, and deeply rooted in justice and care.
