About My Clients
Are you seeking trauma recovery? Navigating complex medical issues or gender transition? Are you a medical provider struggling with burnout? Are you wanting to explore your gender identity or relationship structures? These are often overwhelming things to navigate. You can have a joyful life with fulfilling relationships and balance. Things may never be "easy", but they do get better. There can be ease through transition and life changes.
My Background and Approach
My approach is grounded in feminist theory, radical acceptance, and equity. I use multiple modalities with a specific emphasis on ACT, somatic therapy, and mindfulness. My years in academic medicine as a social worker gave me experience working with clinical providers, patients navigating complex medical issues, and gender expansive surgical care and processes. Everyone comes to therapy with different needs. I create a personalized and self-driven therapeutic relationship. You know yourself and your experience better than me. As we get to know one another, I use my experience and expertise to create a process that works for you and is flexible for all the ways people change in this process.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe healing is a collaborative process that is not meant to be done alone. Healing is refusing to lose your joy or humanity. That is a radical act. Healing is liberation for ourselves and others. Social justice, equity, and community care are some of my highest values. Therapy should be a process where we learn to trust ourselves and restore our trust in others. We cannot heal alone and we cannot have liberation alone. I do not take the trust and vulnerability I'm given lightly. I feel truly honored to do this work with others.
