healing comes in many forms
My approach to this work is deeply intuitive, experiential, and nonlinear. I playfully invite imagination and creativity to reorient our understanding of who we are beyond what our experiences have shaped us to be.
I offer space to process and integrate your experiences and explore their influence on your relationship with yourself, your community, and the earth.
I will support you with untangling your thoughts and feelings, learning the language of your inner world, intuition, and body signals, and teach you practices that will shift you out of urgency, embrace imperfection, and connect you to a sense of belonging, playfulness, and joy.
As for me, I’m a white-bodied, trans/non-binary, auDHD, quirky, loving, chronically ill human with a learning disability. I am also a multidisciplinary artist who loves being in the forest since I feel deeply understood and connected there (and I really love the feel of moss).
I am passionately dedicated to anti-racism, anti-oppression, disability justice, and the ongoing process of decolonization while practicing imaginative, creative, liberation-centered, and justice-oriented care.
I have experience working with people of diverse genders, neurotypes, disabilities/different abilities, relationships, and cultural backgrounds in settings such as private practice, community colleges and universities, and nonprofit organizations.
Thank you for your interest in my practice and for taking the time to learn more about me. I appreciate your curiosity and am here to answer any questions you may have. If you’re interested in working together, please schedule a consultation. I look forward to the possibility of working with you!

land acknowledgement
I reside with the stolen lands of the Meskwaki, Peoria, Myaamia, Anishinabewaki, Mississauga, Wyandot, and Bodwéwadmi peoples, colonially known as Detroit, Michigan. I am deeply grateful to the past and present elders for their efforts in stewarding the land I call home. I humbly recognize that this acknowledgment is a small step towards the vital and ongoing work of repair, reparations, and decolonization. I encourage you to join me. You can start by visiting Native Land Digital to learn whose land you live with.

Liberation-Centered Care
I am dedicated to providing services that celebrate and honor the unique needs of people impacted by systemic inequity and oppression, especially 2SLGBTQIAA+, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC)/People of the Global Majority (PoGM), disabled, and neurodivergent communities. I’m also affirming of people who use drugs (PWUD), and the kink, sex work, non-monogamous, and polyamory communities.
