About Me
I’m a Brooklyn-based artist, musician, writer—and therapist.
For me, healing and creativity are inseparable. Whether it’s through words, sound, or self-expression, I believe therapy is a space where your inner world can be witnessed, honored, and transformed.
As a trans person, I know the ache of not being fully seen in therapeutic spaces. That’s why I’ve built an approach centered on affirmation, liberation, and radical care—especially for trans and gender-nonconforming (TGNC) folks navigating identity, dysphoria, and the complex terrain of living in a world that often resists our truth.
My approach is holistic, emotionally attuned, and rooted in Liberation Psychology, which means I see healing as both deeply personal and undeniably political. I hold space for all of you: the tender parts, the questioning parts, the parts that are still finding their shape.
Whether you’re exploring your gender, craving creative connection, or simply wanting to be held in your full authenticity—I’m here. Let’s build a space where your story unfolds without judgment and where your truth is met with care.
✨ You don’t have to edit yourself here. Just come as you are—and let’s make something beautiful out of it. ✨
