You might be here because... -A chronic illness or persistent pain is hijacking your energy, mood, and identity. -ADHD, ASD, or executive-dysfunction burnout is making everyday tasks feel impossible. -Fertility challenges, pregnancy, postpartum changes, or reproductive loss have left you overwhelmed and alone. -The push-and-pull of parenting, caring for kids and yourself, feels unsustainable, and you’re losing sight of who you are. -Medical or relational trauma keeps echoing in your body and mind, no matter how hard you try to “push through.” If any of that resonates, you deserve a therapy space that understands both the science of mental health and the lived reality of unpredictable bodies, shifting hormones, and busy brains. Why I do this work: Long before I became a psychologist, I learned firsthand how isolating it is to navigate doctors’ offices, health flare-ups, and “you don’t look sick” comments without mental-health support that truly clicks. That experience fuels my commitment to help clients feel seen, believed, and equipped with tools that actually work in real life. How we will work together: I blend evidence-based approaches—Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Internal Family Systems, CBT, self-compassion, and somatic techniques—into care that is: -Whole-person & mind-body -Neurodiversity-affirming & trauma-informed -Gender-affirming, fat-positive/HAES, anti-oppressive Expect a warm, collaborative space where we’ll: -Make room for hard emotions without judgment -Identify values that can guide decisions even on bad symptom days -Build practical systems for focus, pacing, and self-advocacy -Rewrite the stories illness, trauma, or society have told you about your worth -Practice tools that help you navigate what life throws at you Ready to see if we’re a good fit?
