Therapy Services for Trauma Survivors and LGBTQ+ Neurodivergent folks
San Francisco & Virtual
RELATIONSHIP COUNSELING FOR EVERY TYPE OF LOVE
Love is the most healing force in the world. The love you have in your life has already changed and transformed you. But maybe there is conflict around drinking and drugs, opening your relationship, conflicting neurodivergence, trauma, or fighting around money. Sometimes it feels like- is love enough? It can be helpful to have another person in the room to remind you that you’re doing a great job and introduce some softness into your conflicts. We’ll work on strengthening your communication skills, stop misunderstandings, and deepen your relationships.
I work with all relationship constellations. Polycules and chosen family welcome.

Queer and trans love can be one of the most profound forces for good in this world. We also can take out the stress of the world on each other. Along with my life experience, I have been through an intensive year long training focusing on issues that specifically impact our community. Gender-affirming care is built as a cornerstone of my practice.

Chaotic substance use affects partners, children, and loved ones. We’ll explore how we can heal long established patterns. I have extensive experience working with clients along the spectrum of harm-reduction including folks in recovery.

Neurodivergence in couples and families shapes communication, routines, sensory needs, and emotional expression in ways that require intentional understanding and adaptation. As a neurodivergent therapist who has worked extensively with neurodivergent folks, I bring a compassionate and empathetic approach to our sessions.

Whether you’re opening your relationship for the first time or have been practicing polyamory for years, non-monagamy comes with a unique set of challenges and joys. We’ll embark on a journey of carving your own path as a couple. I have extensive experience supporting couples navigating new relationship boundaries and conflicting needs and desires.

Arguments around money can be so much more complicated when you and your partner have different class backgrounds. I have run workshops for cross-class couples and have extensive experience helping couples establish shared values around money and say the difficult truths to each other.
Individual Therapy
Maybe you try so hard to make everything work, and it’s just exhausting carrying the weight of your family and the world on your shoulders. You’re not alone. We’ll co-create a space for you to make meaning out of your most challenging experiences.
I provide therapy virtually or in person. I specialize in working with complex and acute trauma and folks struggling with substance use. I incorporate a harm-reduction framework, and I’m also familiar with 12-Step forms of recovery. I love to incorporate play and art into therapy. We are doing serious healing work, but the most effective healing work requires joy, laughter, and creativity.
Gender Affirming Surgery Letter
Gender affirming surgery is stressful enough; we can work together to make this part simple.

Group Therapy
Therapeutic Art Making Group for Spoonies
So much of healing these days involves talking. Processing through art has been one of the most healing forces in my life, and I want to invite you to slow down and create together. Zero skill level required, because it’s not about the product, it’s about the process.

Therapeutic Play Circle (Ages 16+)
In a world of packed calendars, non-stop meetings, and watching horrors unfold on tiny screens, play often lives on the back-burner of “one day if I had time”. Play is often a safe way to experiment with change, uncertainty, and building community. If you’re finding yourself struggling with rigid thinking, destructive stuck patterns around behaviors or substance use, or fear of vulnerability- join us and try on play. We will all leap together.

NeuroQueer Support Group
It can be painful, joyful, and transformative to begin to unmask. Taking down that armor in a support group can be an experiment that changes your day-to-day. Join this support group to build intentional community. Building community is how we all find healing. It is a space to practice advocating for your access needs, taking relationship risks, and connecting to others, within a safe container.
