I am a self-advocate and activist with over ten years personal and professional experience working with adults and children in the Disability Community. I am trained in Social Work and Disability Studies and have an interdiciplinary practice orientation. I call New Orleans home again after a three years in Chicago, and am dedicated to involvement in local and global Disability communities.
As a Coach and Counselor in Queer and Disability communities I understands the specific structural barriers people with diverse identities face. I bring a Neurodiversity and Disability pride perspective to coaching and counseling by sharing knowledge of history, theory, and social models. I believe employment or occupation seeking is a great place to begin exploring any change you want to make in your life. Employment counseling can bring up issues related to anxiety, depression, Autism, ADHD, chronic pain, and other Neurodiversities and Disabilities. I am Queer, Trans, and Non-Binary allied.

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For a range of common concerns – such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions – online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is flexibility. Clients can choose the format that fits their needs and comfort level, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
Licensed professionals provide care online, and if someone feels they need a different therapeutic fit they can switch therapists at any time. Online formats make it practical to access support for everyday mental health challenges while keeping the focus on meaningful progress and personal goals.
