Frequently Asked Questions

"To be truly visionary, we have to root our imagination in our concrete reality while simultaneously imagining possibilities beyond that reality."​​

  • How do I know if psychotherapy is right for me?

    If you’re curious about your own stories, yearning for connection (with self and/or others), or feeling stuck, psychotherapy can serve as a starting point for healing, exploration and growth.

    You don’t need to be in crisis to seek support — therapy also offers space for integration and imagining new possibilities.

    Consider checking out this short video on how I imagine the process of psychotherapy. If you find resonance, perhaps psychotherapy is right for you at this time.

  • What are your areas of focus?

    I walk alongside individuals navigating grief, complex trauma, identity exploration, relational dynamics, and systemic oppression. I’m especially passionate about supporting elders, those in end-of-life stages, people holding marginalized identities, and anyone who seeks healing grounded in collective liberation.

    My work is rooted in an anti-oppression, trauma-conscious framework: queer- and trans-affirming, fat-positive, sex-positive, disability-inclusive, and culturally humble.

  • Is everything I share confidential?

    Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our work together. There are a few legal and ethical exceptions (such as imminent risk of harm), which we’ll discuss fully at the start, so you have informed consent (which is and should be ongoing and supportive with any psychotherapist you may choose to work with).

    More information on informed consent here.

  • I’m nervous about starting psychotherapy. Is that part of the process?

    Absolutely. Reaching out for support is a courageous act of love for self and other, and it’s completely natural to feel hesitant or unsure. We’ll move at a pace that feels respectful of your needs and capacity.

    You’re not alone in this—psychotherapy is a shared, co-created journey, and your readiness and needs matter deeply.

    If you’d like, we can start with a 15-minute consultation to help you feel more comfortable.

  • How do I get started with you?

    As of September 2025, I am practicing as an intern psychotherapist under supervision at Hive and Honeycomb Counseling.

    You can reach out here to schedule with me or get further information.

  • I'm not quite ready for psychotherapy yet. Do you have recommended resources in the meantime?

    Yes, I am so glad you asked—I do! Check ‘em out here.

Not ready yet?

If you're not ready just yet, that's okay.


Healing moves like the tide—sometimes arriving in quiet waves. You're welcome to linger, explore, or simply rest here awhile.

When you're ready, the path will be waiting.

Until then, may you find a gentle companion in the words and resources shared along the way.
