About My Clients
My approach to therapy is rooted in dismantling systematic oppression, relational repair, and community connection. I offer a collaborative space to navigate life stressors, find resources, and find self-empowerment. I work with individuals (mostly 18+) focused on providing access to gender affirming care, healing from family and/or religious trauma, finding community, navigating non-traditional relationship styles (poly, ethical non-monogamy, queer, kinky, and single), and life transitions
My Background and Approach
I earned a Masters in Clinical Mental Health from Columbia International University in 2023 which encouraged me to be a forever learner. Since graduation, I have attended training focused on gender affirming care, navigating neurodivergence, decolonizing somatics, ethical kink practices, and more. I utilize a range of therapy modalities focused on both the mind and body, including Relational-Cultural Theory, Internal Family Systems, Emotion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Polyvagal Theory, Attachment Theory, Narrative Therapy, and Mindfulness. These approaches help you build coping strategies in and out of session, supporting your holistic well-being. Many of these modalities focus on navigating both present experiences and processing past difficulties. My goal is to collaborate on ways to find a path forward while normalizing parts of us that may feel stuck in the past.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I recognize that our shared and different challenges don’t exist in a vacuum but are shaped by similar oppressive systems. As a therapist, I aim to provide trauma-informed care that acknowledges the impact of these systems, often through discussing generational family trauma, racism, ableism, religious oppression, financial inequity, existential stressors, and navigating LGBTQIA+ identities. My work focuses on helping clients find strength within themselves while also acknowledging the barriers created by these systems. My clinical experience and training have centered on boundaries, attachment, inner child work, and identity exploration. We often explore how systemic issues play a role in shaping your identity and well-being, while identifying the inner power that helps you navigate life both within and outside these systems. My hope is to help you find parts of yourself and ways to feel safe within your community.
