How do I get started?
What makes you different?
I’m not an expert in anything and would never claim to be. I have close to 2 decades of professional experience witnessing over 400 individuals cross significant thresholds and 4 decades of lived experience that inform my choices and approach. I will always trust and follow my client’s inherent wisdom about their own body and mind.
I’m a white passing mixed race, multi cultural daughter of a deaf immigrant and I’m bilingual. In the greater world, this is not very significant, however in Vermont these are my superpowers. In an overwhelmingly white state, I have a distinctly different lens through which I recognize and name power dynamics and use my white passing privilege to advocate for my clients needs, desires and dignity.

What do you stand for?
Me and my practice are LGBTQIA+ friendly, Trans affirming, anti racist, pro choice and inclusive to all bodies, births and family structures.
Do you have a sliding scale?
I offer sliding scale rates for BIPGM, LGBTQIA+ and disabled folks when able. When you book me at my full rate, you are helping to subsidize the cost of services to marginalized folks.
