About My Clients
I tend to provide long-term, relationally focused care to my clients. The folx I work with are often interested in exploring identity variables such as sexual orientation, gender identity, and body size. Many of my clients identify as highly sensitive and/or are also therapists. I additionally enjoy working with people wanting to understand the impact of generational trauma, shame, and their relationships with themselves and others.
My Background and Approach
My approach is relational and collaborative, with the aim of building a foundation of trust and comfort in our relationship from the very beginning. I place a high value on your input and the important role you play in therapy—by you sharing your experiences, expectations, and hopes with me, I can more readily meet your needs. This means you’ll likely hear me ask for feedback regularly about how therapy is going, as well as invite you to share about your experience as you feel comfortable. I also place a strong emphasis on understanding how your various roles and identities impact your life experiences. Whether you experience pride, shame, or a mix of feelings about the many facets of yourself, I am committed to understanding your unique experience and embracing all parts of you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that connection is co-created, meaning all parties in relationship are committed to mutually understanding and embracing one another. As a White, queer, cisgender woman living in a larger body, I recognize that I bring my identities into the therapy room - and I aim for my clients to feel invited to do the same. At all times, I am committed to reflecting on how both my own and your worldview and lived experiences may shape our interactions. As we determine what fosters safety in our working relationship, it is my hope to engage in intentional dialogues about how our unique parts shape the therapeutic process.
