About My Clients
I most enjoy working with people who come to therapy with a desire to work collaboratively. I commonly work with neurodivergent people, queer and trans folks, perinatal individuals (I particularly love working with transgender gestational parents!). I work with individual adults, teenagers and couples (monogamous and nonmonogamous) and relationship configurations (polycules, families, siblings, friends, roommates, etc) of all kinds.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is based in relationships. The relationships we form with others, with self, with the world around us, all influence and shape our experience. I am interested in finding compassion and understanding, and helping to rewrite these relational experiences when possible. I expect that things that have happened in your life will symbolically play themselves out in the therapeutic space, and it is my hope that together we can help those experiences play out differently than they have in the past. I primarily use trauma-informed psychodynamic and somatic modalities, and practice through anti-oppressive, disability justice, and harm reduction frameworks. I have training in EMDR and AEDP, as well as extensive post graduate Couple and Family therapy training.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that therapy is a tool. Like all tools, it's helpful to know what its limitations are and what it is good at. We exist in a world with many oppressive systems, and therapy cannot directly change that. What I hope therapy can do is help to create a felt sense of safety and belonging (when it is appropriate and safe to feel that way) to help us then go and create better networks and connect with the world around us. I believe that all oppression is linked, and that understanding how these systems live inside of us and allowing space for honest feelings and experiences is crucial to having a different experience with them.
