About My Clients

Do you find yourself questioning or exploring aspects of your identity, like your gender or your sexuality? Do you struggle with feelings of shame and guilt surrounding sex? I am here to help you gain a deeper, more holistic understanding of yourself and find better ways to embrace your authenticity and sexuality.

My Background and Approach

Velvet specializes in supporting clients with intersectional and layered identities facing challenges related to their identity, sexuality, and interpersonal relationships. She enjoys working with eager and curious clients to deepen their relationships with themselves and others and show up more authentically in both. Velvet's work is based on the foundation of a solid therapeutic alliance and the co-creation of a safe and supportive space in which the client can explore and process.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a member of both the BIPOC and the LGBTQIA+ communities, I know firsthand how our layered and intersecting identities contribute to the ways we understand ourselves and how the rest of the world will treat us. To wit, I base my practice on a trauma-informed, abolitionist, and anti-oppressive paradigm to help my clients feel seen and heard as they navigate their challenges.
