Turning Self-Protection into Self-Connection

Because real safety starts inside.

If you’re here, chances are you’re someone who holds a lot. You think deeply, care deeply, and work hard to keep things steady. You push through even when exhausted and that’s not working for you anymore. You may be high-functioning on the outside and quietly overwhelmed on the inside. I work with people who learned to survive by being capable, agreeable, or “good,” and who are ready for something gentler.

I don’t believe people need to be “fixed.” Nervous systems need safety, time, and the right kind of support to do what they already know how to do: heal. So many of us are completely drained of energy after dealing with the world being on fire on top of their mental health conditions, financial stress, all the -isms, queerness, neurodiversity, upbringing, and the harsh realities of our world. I want to help people get their energy back, thrive, and have vibrant, colorful lives.

I’m a fat, queer, ADHD woman who has done my own deep healing work. I’m a homebody and introvert who loves talking to people one-on-one. I love finding comfort in my body (cuddling is the best), compassionately allowing myself to learn new things on my own timeline, I get fixated on things in true ADHD fashion, and I am currently all about the video game Story of Seasons. I know what it’s like to over-function, doubt your worth, and feel like rest has to be earned. I don’t bring this up because our experiences are the same — they aren’t. I bring it up because I believe therapy works best when power is transparent and humanity is welcome.

Sessions are collaborative, curious, and paced with care. You don’t have to tell your story perfectly or know where to start. Come as you are, and we’ll figure it out together.
