You never quite felt like you fit into this world, never checked off the boxes you were forced into, but you still strive to make a difference. Maybe you relate with being a geek, nerd, misfit, or gamer. I love to work with those who want help creating their own life, their own identity. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community, neurodivergent, or the misfit community, I’d love to help you rewrite your story to make it your own. And feel free to unmask yourself, you’re accepted here. I am a warm and welcoming therapist, but I won’t sugarcoat things for you. I’m blunt and will call you out, but I’ll always remain on your side. I meet you where you’re at, whether that’s discovering your identity or diving into deep trauma work. I use a humanist approach, with touches of somatic and strength-based modalities.

You’re feeling like you’re barely holding your life together, and you’re tired of pretending you’re okay. Maybe you’re a little quirky, a little artistic, but you’ve always felt like something was “off” and you never quite fit in. Yeah, all of that is exhausting. I want you to find real joy in your life, whatever that looks like for you. I love working with individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community, those who might be a little neurospicy, and others who just want to explore their identity more. You won’t have to spend the first 3 sessions worrying if you’re going to be accepted, you already are. My style is eclectic and I’m always willing to meet you where you’re at in your healing. I like to focus on gentle guiding and building tools. I enjoy following where you want to lead, side quests and all! Don’t worry, if I notice we’re avoiding something, I will circle back to it. I’m friendly, accepting, and a little silly (with a dark sense of humor). I love laughing at the absurdity of life! I want to go into the hard, messy, and weird stuff with you. I want you to understand yourself and reframe your narrative. I know admitting you’re not okay feels scary, but I’d love to be with you, looking underneath everything that has been piled on top of you.

You're showing up to class, turning in the assignments, smiling in the group chat — and falling apart the second you're alone. If you're exhausted from holding it together for everyone but yourself, you're not broken. You're carrying more than anyone can see, and it's time someone helped you put it down. At Peace-Filled, we work with college students navigating the pressure to perform — academically, socially, online, and at home. Whether it's anxiety that won't switch off, a depression you've gotten good at hiding, family expectations that don't leave room for who you actually are, or a past you haven't had the space to process — we get it, and we know how to help you move through it. Our therapists are diverse, culturally grounded, and trained in trauma-focused care. We don't hand you generic coping tips and call it a day. We help you understand why you feel stuck, build the tools to actually change it, and walk with you while you do — virtually or in person, on your schedule. You don't have to have it all figured out to reach out. You just have to be ready to feel lighter.
