About My Clients
I see therapy as an expansive and intriguing place. As a therapist, I value creating a warm, collaborative environment that offers both concrete tools for coping and room to explore unknown parts of yourself. I offer assistance in understanding your past and how it affects present, your internal and external experiences, and your conscious and unconscious minds.
My Background and Approach
I layer insight-oriented therapy (psychodynamic work, CBT, DBT, ACT, parts work) with body based, somatic, and trauma-informed practices like EMDR. Together we’ll identify and question doubts, fears, and unconscious patterns that make you feel stuck. Self-knowledge and self-acceptance grow through the process of feeling deeply seen, heard, and understood. You are worthy of supportive care that affirms your whole self.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’m a queer therapist who has built my life in community with queer and trans people, through loving and becoming alongside them. I believe therapy can be a place to ask questions about who we are and what we deserve, and to, in Tourmaline's words, "dream as big as the problems we face." My political values are rooted in socialist ideals: that all people deserve dignity, access to care, and liberation from systems of oppression. I see personal healing as inextricably linked to collective healing and social transformation, and I work to braid each part together in my work. I’m also a member of a Kadampa Buddhist sangha, where I practice and learn loving kindness, mindfulness, and the understanding that our thoughts and feelings are not fixed truths.
