About My Clients
You are worthy of an expansive, liberated, & joyful life: a life worth living, even in challenging times. With collaboration and creativity, therapy can help you create that expansive life, as well as richer relationships. You get to decide what your goals are with therapy- whether that be a space to explore your identity, a space to process and move forward from painful experiences, a space to vent, a space to strengthen your partnership, or something else entirely. Therapy is a space for you.
My Background and Approach
Opening up to a therapist can be a daunting and vulnerable task. Throughout the last decade -as a peer counselor, social worker, massage therapist, and, now, psychotherapist- I have had the privilege of working with people who are exploring their gender and/or sexual identities, navigating grief and loss, rebuilding after complex trauma, and learning how to find joy in a heavy world. I take this privilege seriously, and I love to embrace levity, humor, and playfulness in the process. My approach is grounded in a relational framework and shaped by additional trainings in Internal Family Systems (IFS), attachment theory, somatic approaches, and liberation psychology– but, ultimately, our work together is a collaboration that is shaped by your unique needs and experiences. For couples and partners: I have specialized training in non-monogamous and polyamorous relationship therapy, sex therapy for neurodivergent folks, and the Gottman Method for couples of all backgrounds.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I approach this work through a relational and systemic lens, recognizing that our lives are shaped by both our relationships and the systems in which those relationships exist. I am a queer, trans, and neurodivergent therapist who has lived experience with chronic illness and disability. My practice is sex-positive, kink-allied, and grounded in liberation psychology values. I am also committed to anti-racist, anti-carceral, and disability justice-informed practice. This includes accommodations within the therapeutic space, including (but not limited to) flexible cancellation policies for chronic illness and disability needs, masking during in-person sessions, collaborative and anti-carceral approaches to suicidality, and adjusting communication styles to suit different neurotypes.
