Rebuild, reclaim, rewrite

You deserve a space that honors your voice, your growth, and your truth.

At Wanderland Reads, I believe your identity, your experiences, and your story deserve to be honored.

My work centers queer people and the stories we carry, tell, and create. Across therapy, sensitivity consultations and editing, public speaking, authorship, and my work within the sapphic book community, I bring the same commitment to each space: support that feels personal, centers identity, and respects lived experience.

Whether you are working through your own story, writing someone else’s, or looking for someone to speak thoughtfully about trauma, identity, queerness, and representation, you deserve a space where your full self belongs.

This is where your story thrives.

I’m a queer-centered trauma therapist, sensitivity editor, author, speaker, and lifelong reader who believes our stories shape how we understand ourselves and one another.

My work lives at the intersection of trauma, identity, queerness, and storytelling. As a therapist, I support queer people as they process trauma, explore identity, challenge shame, and build lives rooted in who they are. As a sensitivity editor and consultant, I work with authors to approach trauma, mental health, identity, and marginalized experiences with intention and respect. I also bring these conversations into public spaces through speaking, education, and community work.

Outside of the therapy room and editing pages, I’m an author and co-owner of a sapphic book box dedicated to celebrating queer stories, pleasure, representation, and the books that make us feel seen.

Every part of my work comes back to the same belief: lived experience matters, identity matters, and everyone deserves the space to tell, understand, and own their story.

Therapy is a place where your identity isn’t questioned and your feelings are not minimized. You can talk about dating, family tension, or gender expression without bracing for judgement.

Myth

You’re required to have a perfectly defined identity, with every label neatly chosen, every relationship mapped out, and every feeling sorted before you deserve support.

Fact

Therapy gives you language for experiences you had trouble naming before. You learn what support looks like on your terms and what safety feels like in real time.

Honestly? Same. Sign up below to join me on Bindery, where I post weekly blogs, and journaling prompts about everything from identity exploration to deconstruction, sex ed, and spicy books.

Are you a sucker for a good journaling session?
