About My Clients
I specialize in treating folx with trauma, self-esteem challenges, and identity and purpose questioning. I largely serve folx whose trauma manifests other challenges like depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction, or substance use. Many of my clients live at the intersection of multiple identities, including Disability, neurodiversity, race, and queerness and prefer to work with a provider who has lived experience.
My Background and Approach
As a provider with lived experience as a queer, neurodivergent, and Disabled person, it is a profound honor to help others in my community recover from harm. My approach is deeply relational as a provider who firmly believes in the healing power of community connection. Each person responds to therapy differently and needs a unique, non-prescriptive approach to support them in healing. In therapy together, we collaborate directly to ensure that our time together suits your needs, targets the spots that you feel are most pressing, and leaves you feeling forward momentum. I pull from a number of therapy modalities and time-honored, culturally-rooted practices including but not limited to existential, somatic, mindfulness, parts work, and EMDR therapies to process difficult feelings and honor your inherent resilience. Therapy can and should be built with you in mind, and that starts with collaborating on a direction that highlights your goals and considers your needs.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Therapy should be a place where you can feel as safe as possible while being vulnerable, and your therapist's values being compatible with your own is crucial for building this space. My practice is anti-oppressive dedicated to furthering social justice by challenging harmful rhetoric about marginalized communities, supporting mutual aid funding for Disabled, neurodivergent, and/or queer racialized folx, and engaging in community liberation against fascism. I am non-carceral and take part in the effort to eliminate authoritative presence, strengthen community connection, and champion harm reduction. I support and have volunteered with the Sex Workers and Allies Network (SWAN) to provide narcan and safe use supplies to unhoused communities in CT. I am honored to say that my little queer, Disabled, AuDHD therapy space continuously strives to create an affirming alliance LGBTQIA2S+, Disabled, racialized, and neurodivergent communities.
