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, neurodivergent, 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.
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.
If something here resonated with you, I'd love to connect. Feel free to reach out with any questions, or go ahead and schedule a consultation. I'd be honored to explore working together.

land acknowledgement
I reside with the stolen lands of the Lenape, Mohican, and Schaghticoke Peoples, colonially known as upstate New York. 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.
