About My Clients
There are seasons in our lives when we may feel estranged from our true selves, disconnected from our sense of aliveness, spontaneity, expansiveness, & wonder. We might feel anxious, lonely, confused, numb, self-critical, or caught in familiar yet painful cycles of reacting & relating. Perhaps we’d like to get acquainted with ourselves on a deeper level, while also feeling afraid of what we might uncover along the way.
My Approach to Helping
I believe in the power of genuine presence & connection. My approach is warm, collaborative, & gently direct. With curiosity & humility, I aim to create a supportive space, free of judgment, where all parts of you can be witnessed, seen, & feel held, as we cultivate compassionate curiosity into your inner world, together. I find that meaningful change occurs through both continued development of insight, & lived emotional experience. In our work together, we may bring awareness to past experiences, relational dynamics, and unconscious processes that shape how you relate to yourself & others, including what emerges between us in the therapeutic relationship. Together, we can honor the ways your patterns once served to protect you, while making space for more intentional & aligned ways of being, relating, & moving through the world.
My Values as a Therapist
I view mental health as a process of learning to hold tensions & contradictions in navigating the uncertainties & complexities inherent in life, while maintaining an authentic relationship to the self & others. From this place, we can see & experience our lives more fully. Centering social justice in both my life and my clinical work, I offer insight-oriented, trauma-informed care that is attentive to the ways identity, power, and systemic oppression impact our lived experiences, mental health, and broader communities. My practice is informed by intersectional queer liberation, intersectional feminism, anti-racism, & sex positivity. I work with adults, adolescents, and relationships, LGBTQIA2SP+, trans & NB, gender expansive/diverse identities who are navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief, religious trauma, racial & cultural issues, questions of meaning & belonging, addiction, & creative blocks. I invite you to reach out if you feel we may be a good therapeutic fit.
