About My Clients

My clients are activists, organizers and politically left individuals who struggle with burnout, overwhelm and balance. In session, we dismantle the partition between health and politics, encouraging them to radically accept their whole selves as they heal. In our first few sessions, my clients can expect to lay a foundation of self-compassion, patience and self-care practices. My clients learn how to lovingly and gently embrace who they are in this rapidly shifting world.

My Background and Approach

In our work together, you will heal from internalized ideas about success, value and productivity. Together we will normalize rest, tenderness and self-compassion which will benefit both you and your community. Our goal will be to work towards inner liberation, which will make fighting for outer liberation feel possible. I understand that you’re dealing with plenty throughout the day. Managing a job, relationships, illness, disability on top of bearing witness to state violence, genocide and a deeply volatile economic system. Under capitalism, so much is asked of you, and so little returned. I serve the working class, meaning the multi-racial, gendered, national group of people that keep our world running. I firmly believe that class consciousness and solidarity are a direct route to emotional, psychological and physical liberation. A little about me, I’m a community organizer who lives in Southeast Pennsylvania, late in life self-diagnosed autistic.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As an anti-capitalist, socialist therapy, I also like to help therapists who are stuck at exploitative group practices. I help these folks build solo and/or cooperative practices. I currently offer individual and group coaching for therapists. In our work together, you will heal from internalized ideas about success, value and productivity. Together we will normalize rest, tenderness and self-compassion which will benefit both you and your community. Our goal will be to work towards inner liberation, which will make fighting for outer liberation feel possible.
