About My Clients
I resonate most with queer, trans, & gender expansive folks and people navigating people pleasing, shame and religious trauma. We might work well together if you’re looking for a warm, honest therapist rooted in abolition and decolonization. Other core themes I work with are: loneliness, depression and suicidality, attachment + codependency, anxiety/fear, body image + food relationships. I offer individual and partnership sessions. I’m sex-positive, queer, and enm- & kink-affirming.
My Background and Approach
Therapy with me is trauma-informed, non-judgemental, and steeped in Gestalt and somatic traditions. Present moment awareness is at the core of a Gestalt practice, which I will often point to. We won't just talk about your life, but we'll explore it as it arises in session, noticing what comes up moment to moment. I trust the truth of your lived experience. In our work, I'll meet you where you are without expectation or judgment. Every part of you is welcome here, exactly as it is. You don’t have to come prepared, put together, or already changing. My hope is that through this spacious, honest work, you gain greater access to liberation, agency, and autonomy in your everyday life - not by becoming someone else, but by becoming more fully yourself.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Most importantly, the ethos of my practice is rooted in queer and trans liberation. I hold advocacy for liberation and social justice at the very core of my work and my identity. I am inspired by Leslie Feinberg, Audre Lorde and the queer and trans people in my life. I am always working towards a deeper decolonization of myself and my approach to healing. I move through the world with the unearned privilege of being cis-ish and white, and I live in conscious refusal of patriarchy as a queer and lesbian-identified person. It is at this intersection that I choose to orient my life and practice toward unsettling the colonial and patriarchal systems that sustain my privilege. The process of decolonizing myself, my work, and the field of psychotherapy is central to my practice and ethics.
