About My Clients
Accepting new clients! I know that night-sky heaviness...the weight of the world. You have held galaxies of responsibility while your own needs were lost in space. If you grew up tending others’ emotions, surviving religious harm, hiding sacred parts of yourself, or grieving losses with no rituals, you learned how to endure. In our work, rooted in humanistic, person-centered, and shadow-oriented therapy, we listen to the quieter parts of you that learned to stay hidden to survive.
My Background and Approach
If you’ve ever felt like something is “wrong” with you, like you’re too much, not enough, or constantly bracing for the next emotional hit - you’re not alone. Many of my clients come in exhausted from trying to hold it all together while carrying trauma, identity wounds, or patterns that feel impossible to break. Maybe you’ve been misunderstood in therapy before, or felt reduced to a diagnosis instead of seen as a whole person shaped by your experiences, your culture, and the systems around you. My work is rooted in a person-centered, queer-affirming, anti-pathology, and liberatory lens. That means I don’t see you as broken, I see you as someone who adapted in very real ways to survive very real things. Together, we’ll gently explore the patterns, pain, and protective parts of you without shame, while honoring how larger systems, like colonization, oppression, and marginalization have impacted your story and your wellbeing.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I operate from the belief that clients can feel safer and braver when they have clarity around their therapist’s identities and values, so I am happy to talk about mine a bit! I am a white, queer, disabled, genderfluid therapist, and these things come into my work, not as an aside, but a central component to how I connect with my clients. We must acknowledge that spaces can rarely be completely safe, but I believe wholeheartedly that the therapy space should allow clients to feel brave, which requires me to be mindful about navigating the power dynamic that exists between client and therapist. I do everything I can to lower that power dynamic so we can create a space where your innate wisdom wisdom is the main focus. I believe that working towards anti-racism requires both learning and unlearning, that community is central to healing, and that feedback is one of the biggest gifts we can give to each other. I seek out supervision and/or consultation each week to focus on my clients.
