Systemic Therapy & Support Groups
Welcome!
​
My therapy schedule is currently full, but you can schedule a waitlist consult, and registration is open for online hEDS/HSD support groups.
About
I am an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist (or systemic therapist), and I am also hypermobile and queer. I primarily work with individual clients and relationships who are impacted by chronic illness, especially hypermobility disorders. I also work with people experiencing anxiety, grief, trauma, and more. I use somatic therapy and other techniques, and I adjust my approach and offer accommodations based on your unique goals and accessibility needs.
Services
As an Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, I have specialized training in providing systemic therapy to individual clients and relationships. Support groups will also be available soon.
Individual Therapy
​
Age group: 13+
​
Concerns: Chronic illness, anxiety, depression, grief, healthy masculinity, identity, life transitions, trauma, and more.
​
It is an especially stressful time to be alive, and often even more so for people affected by chronic illness. Individual therapy is a space to slow down, reconnect to yourself, and start working toward a life that can work better for you.
Couple & Relationship Therapy
​
Age group: 18+
​
Concerns: Chronic illness, communication, conflict, parenting, relationship transitions, stress,
and more.
​
Chronic illness can affect every part of your life, from work to parenting to friendships. Therapy with a business partner, friend, biological or chosen family member(s), or partner(s) can help build and repair relationships that are impacted by chronic illness.
Beginning August 2026 --
Support Groups
​
Age groups: 18+
​
Concerns: Hypermobile spectrum disorder (HSD) & Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS)
​
Support groups are available for people who have suspected or confirmed HSD and hEDS. Groups are divided into mild/moderate and moderate/severe, so you are most likely to meet people who have similar experiences to your own.
Therapy for people with chronic illness, by someone with chronic illness
Whether you're feeling off and looking for answers, or you've received one or many diagnoses, therapy can be a vital place of support on your chronic illness journey. From processing medical gaslighting and grief, to learning to advocate for yourself, to finding ways to simply exist in your body from one day to the next, chronic illness therapy can help you find more moments of ease, joy, and alignment among the moments of challenge and pain.
