About My Clients
I work with folks on things like processing emotion, stress, grief, and trauma; exploring relationships to themselves, their bodies, other people, and substances; and building a sense of ease and connection. Many folks I work with want to feel more connected to their bodies and emotions. Some don't know what they want from therapy, and we can figure that out together! Many people I work with are queer, trans, neurodivergent, or have experienced religious trauma.
My Background and Approach
I see my job as hosting a space for you to show up exactly as you are. That can be difficult, especially when it seems life is happening too fast to process or you feel stuck. I don't assume coming to therapy means there is something wrong with you--there is just something powerful about having a regular time set aside to check in with yourself. As a therapist, I can provide structure and support for that practice, whether you are processing trauma, moving through a crisis, want to make big changes, or just want space to be. Our sessions can take many forms including talking through life experiences (big and small, past and present) and experiential somatic work (e.g. exploring how emotions or experiences show up in the body, engaging in different types of movement). I have trained in Somatic Experiencing, MI, DBT, yoga, and approach substance use through a harm reduction lens.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a queer, feminist therapist and my approach to therapy is relational and rooted in anti-oppressive values. I believe that sitting with emotion, living authentically, and connecting with others is political work. I believe my most important qualification as a therapist is actively doing my own work including participating in my own therapy. I love being a therapist--I love getting to know each of my clients and getting to be creative and experiment with what makes therapy accessible and supportive for each individual I work with.
