"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive."
-Audre Lorde

Understanding and being aware of our differences as well as celebrating our shared identities is support for our healing. Identities I honor in myself are:​

  • Queer

  • Fat

  • Neurodivergent

  • Elder Emo

Before becoming a therapist, I was a licensed cosmetologist, a fashion copywriter, and a published essayist. I've chosen therapeutic approaches that speak to these parts of myself so I can work with others to rewrite their stories and become the person they want to be. These identities have been protective factors in my own growth and it is fulfilling to share those skills with others.​
