About
I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) living in the SF Bay Area. I provide virtual therapy to folks across California and Oregon. My approach is gentle, but direct, and with a heavy dose of humor. I identify as a fat, queer, white cisgender (elder) millennial mom, managing daily life with autoimmune disorders. When I'm not working, I'm reading romance novels, dancing with my toddler, and trying my hand at ceramics. I'm a gemini sun/Capricorn moon/gemini rising.
Credentials: LCSW in CA, OR, and DC
Trainings, certifications & community lineages
My background is in fat liberation activism and disability justice. I'm a white cis woman with a history of antiracism community organizing. I'm queer and I live with chronic illnesses.
