About My Clients
Whatever the reason you are here, welcome. You might be dissatisfied with your life or relationships and want change. Your experience can look like anxiety, depression, disconnection from your desire or pleasure, identity confusion, or feelings of self-hatred or worthlessness. I work with clients from a variety of backgrounds, religions, cultures, and communities, including the queer community, and with people in all types of relationship styles, including consensual non-monogamy and polyamory.
My Background and Approach
I practice from a feminist, queer, and trauma-informed lens and work with individuals and partners of all types. I support clients from a sex-positive, gender-inclusive, kink-aware perspective. Social justice and cultural humility inform my practice and it’s important for me to work with those in marginalized communities. For the last three years, I have provided therapy to the Spanish-speaking immigrant population through my work in community mental health. I provide therapy in Spanish and English. As a relationship therapist, I can help you identify habits that aren’t working for you and help you create new ways of moving in your world. I believe that the body holds emotional trauma and that connection with the body can reduce pain and suffering. I can use mind-body techniques and practices for those who desire it. I also draw from attachment theory, somatic and mindfulness approaches, Internal Family Systems, narrative therapy, and Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe we all deserve health, happiness, and aliveness, and that therapy can be a part of that journey. I believe that everyone can grow and change, and support and community provides perspective and space for healing. I have lived in the Seattle area for almost twenty years; however, my roots are in small-town Texas. As a queer woman who came out as an adult, I know what it is to work through the shame-based religious and cultural influences of childhood. These days, I enjoy jumping into cold bodies of water, road trips and traveling the world, spending time with my chosen family, singing and songwriting, and building art. I’m a parent of teens. Facing life’s challenges is not always easy, but believe me, you’re worth it and transformation is possible. If you’re longing for change, feeling hopeless or not yourself, and wanting to live life more fully, please contact me. I’d be honored to help you with this journey.
