Counseling
I specialize in supporting clients in self-exploration, identity development, building self-compassion, and embracing neurodivergence. As a queer and neurodivergent person myself, I strive to create an environment where people of all gender identities, attraction patterns, relational orientations, and neurotypes feel affirmed and can develop pride in who they are. My approach is rooted in empathy and non-judgmental acceptance and is built upon the practice of deep listening. Establishing a trusting relationship is my first priority.
​
I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, relationship issues, life transitions, trauma, and the everyday stress of living in times of increased attacks on our right to self-determination. I’m passionate about helping people build lives in alignment with their values.
​
I bring compassionate curiosity and humor to the counseling space, and I amplify strengths while gently exploring current coping methods to identify what may no longer be serving you. My approach is collaborative, trauma-aware, informed by queer theory and narrative therapy, incorporates parts work, and is tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.
At a Glance
Specialties
I specialize in working with queer, trans, and neurodivergent adults who are navigating identity discovery or development, or who are looking to build a better self-image and incorporate strategies that work for their brains and identities.
​
I have experience working with Autism, ADHD, coping skills, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, emotional regulation, relationship issues (monogamous, polyamorous, family, and found-family), self esteem & self-compassion, and processing spiritual abuse or religious trauma.
Payment & Insurance
I am an out of network counselor who accepts payment via credit card, debit card, cash, check, or Health Savings Account. I can provide a receipt (superbill) along with all diagnostic coding that your insurance company will need to process OON reimbursement. Individual sessions are $150 per session and I offer a sliding scale option for eligible clients.
Location
I’m currently available to see Missouri-based clients online, and may expand into offering in-person sessions in St. Louis early 2026.
