About My Clients

The folx I work with have expressed frustration finding providers who will validate without pathologizing. I work with systems folx, plurals, and folx with DID experiences. I also work with people who do not identify as a binary gender, other trans and intersex folx, sex workers/folx in the sex industries among others who may fear their stories will be outshadow why they are seeking therapy.

My Background and Approach

My background comes from surviving 90's street culture in Chicago. I also survived street culture in Seattle and San Franscisco. While I have a BA in Biopsychology, gender theory and gender studies as well as an MA in psychology, my lived experiences I find hold more value with the clients I serve. I tell folx "This is your show" and I am with you where you are. I don't give advice, homework or tell you how to live your life. I trust my clients and know the harm done within the history of the medical and psychological industrial complexes.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My beliefs for the therapeutic relationship is that you know you best and that sometimes just being heard in a confidential setting can be healing. I am not afraid of trauma, complexities or of anyone being "too complicated". In fact, those are the folx I work best with.
