Art therapy is an expressive, sensory-friendly approach to therapy that honors all ways of communicating. You don’t need to be an “artist” to do art therapy, just a willingness to try something new.
I offer individual art therapy or adjunctive art therapy. Adjunctive art therapy supports folx who already have a primary therapist and want additional support to process with the guidance of creative self-expression. Depending on your plan, this may be covered by insurance.

I provide Master’s level ADHD assessments that look beyond stereotypes to understand how your brain actually works. This process is intended to be empowering, real-life oriented, and is created with late-identified, LGBTQIAP2S+, and BIMPOC adults in mind.

I offer in-depth, Master’s-level autism assessments that are collaborative, respectful, and rooted in real-life experience. This process is strengths-based, affirming, and especially designed for queer, trans, Global Majority, multiracial, and late-identified individuals.

In my clinical practice, I pay close attention to how the intersections of your identity and the systems you move through shape who you are and how you experience the world. That's not background information for me — it's central to how you grow. I try to help you connect to the different parts of yourself so you can build understanding and open the door for new opportunities.
My values inform how I show up for you as the client: I believe everyone deserves access to fresh food and a safe place to work, including sex workers. I'm pro-choice for reproductive rights and I've seen firsthand how life-changing gender-affirming care can be — especially for queer and trans youth. I am actively working to unravel the ways racial capitalism has conditioned me to value productivity and self-worth. I believe in making good trouble.
The therapy I offer actively pushes back against the oppressive systems and power imbalances that affect your well-being. My goal is to support you in reclaiming your autonomy and stepping into your own empowerment.

I’m a queer, non-binary, Jewish, anti-zionist, AuDHD individual with chronic illness (hello, fellow spoonies!). My neurodivergent traits and queer ways of being help me think uniquely and challenge internalized ableism, which in turn fuels creative ways to support my clients.
-
Sharing space with people as they navigate their life challenges is humbling work and a constant reminder of our collective strengths and fortitude as humans. In my practice I aim to be affirming and containing while also giving non-judgmental space and freedom to try new things, make mistakes, and learn to grow new parts of yourself.
