Introduction

so, speak roses. make every conversation a ceremony. -alok vaid-menon i’ve been a client in therapy since i was very young, and i’ve had transformative experiences—many positive and others harmful. i chose to pursue a career in therapy so i could offer a holistic way of healing in a field that tends to pathologize, dehumanize, shame, and over-medicate. i also find that so many therapies miss a vital piece—tending to the soul. i received my MA in holistic counseling psychology with a specialization in depth and transpersonal psychotherapy at john f. kennedy university. i am currently an associate marriage and family therapist at axis mundi center for mental health. i find it important to be transparent about identity markers that may allow potential clients to feel a sense of safety, connection, and belonging when deciding to work with me. i identity as queer, femme, polyamorous, kinky, neurodivergent, working class, and sex-positive. clients who stick with me tend to be struggling with similar issues and themes. identity formation & transformation, perfectionism, neurodivergence, relationships, sex & intimacy, non-traditional relationship structures, life transitions, and navigating cultural & systemic oppression are all common themes in my work with clients. my style is warm, client-centered, and playful. i bring humor, lightheartedness, and a youthful energy to the therapy. my commitment as a therapist is to honor the complexity of your humanity, the intersection of your identities, and the whole of your being.
