About My Clients

My ideal clients are queer and trans disabled adults seeking to navigate identity, relationships, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing the nuanced impacts of disability, mental health, and interpersonal connections. If you're looking for a therapist who understands the complexities of your experiences and is committed to empowering you towards resilience and authenticity, we may be a great fit. I offer a supportive space to explore all facets of your life and identities.

My Background and Approach

I bring a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to serving queer and trans disabled adults. My professional journey is informed by my own identity as a queer, disabled, cis woman, which enriches my understanding and empathy towards the unique challenges faced by my clients. I hold a specialized focus in psychodynamic and relational therapies, integrated with principles of intersectionality and disability justice. These approaches allow me to effectively address issues related to identity, relationships, and the impact of societal structures on personal well-being. Clients working with me benefit from a therapeutic practice that is not only empathetic and informed but also adaptive to the individual needs of each person. This means tailoring our sessions to focus on deep-seated emotional patterns and relational dynamics, enhancing your ability to navigate life's challenges with greater resilience and self-awareness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am deeply connected to the communities I serve, both professionally and personally. My practice is not only informed by my professional training but also enriched by my life experiences and identities. I actively engage with issues surrounding disability rights and LGBTQ+ advocacy, striving to uplift voices that are often marginalized. I am committed to the principles of Disability Justice, which emphasize intersectionality, collective access, and liberation. These values are not just theoretical; they are woven into the fabric of how I live and work. As a therapist, I believe in creating a space where all individuals can explore their identities safely and without judgment, recognizing the importance of each person’s unique story.
