About My Clients
I welcome LGBTQIA+ folks, I am Kink positive, and believe in cultural humility and health at every size. I use a holistic approach that honors my client's innate healing wisdom- from mind, body, and spirit. I specialize in working with folks looking to heal and build their coping capacity for Trauma and mood issues, Fertility, Pregnancy and Postpartum mood/adjustment issues, Grief and loss, and Sex and Relationship challenges.
My Background and Approach
I view therapy as a collaborative effort with my clients- you bring a desire to work on yourself, with all your strengths as well as challenges; I bring a warm, respectful, and clinically experienced therapy style that recognizes your inherent worth and capacity. We will work together to explore, understand, and support your healing journey using a variety of tools, collaborating to meet your needs. I use compassionate listening, humor, gentle reframing, healthy boundary setting, and occasional swearing. I am a strengths-based therapist and licensed clinical social worker who specializes in Trauma and mood issues, Pregnancy and Postpartum mood/adjustment issues, Grief and loss, Sex and Relationships, and Sexuality across the life span. I employ tools from a variety of therapeutic modalities as appropriate, including resources from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, neuroscience, internal family systems therapy, and somatic or body-based healing work.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I firmly believe in our capacity for innate healing wisdom- from mind, body, and spirit. I name and recognize the harm perpetuated by white supremacy, Capitalism, and colonial imperialism, and acknowledge that we live within systems of oppression that exacerbate the challenges we face within our individual experiences. I am a staunch feminist and a bisexual cis-woman: I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all people, and value the lives and experiences of LGBTQIA+ folks. I am a cultural and religious Jew, and I honor and respect cultural and religious practices; I also appreciate that systemic oppression and inter-generational trauma has too often been passed down from places meant to be a source of solace, refuge, and identity.
