About My Clients
I am a member of and passionate about working with the LGBTQ+, immigrant, disabled, kink/BDSM, and alterhuman & furry communities. Between my research background and clinical work, I have found myself helping clients explore the connection between their mind and their body, whether that means weight stigma, gender dysphoria, somatic trauma experiences, chronic illness/pain and disability, or just helping people attune to their own feelings and self-awareness.
My Background and Approach
I believe that clients are fundamentally trying their best to survive and thrive in the world as they understand it, and may need assistance in gaining new tools, new perspectives, or adapting to a new context. I strive to provide a sense of continuity across sessions for my client. My hope is to provide structure and context while still allowing for flexibility. My ultimate goal is to provide tools and skills to help them become their best-aligned selves. My training and background includes CBT, DBT, Psychodynamic, and trauma-informed approaches. I like using education and interpersonal neurobiology to give clients context for what their bodies and brains are experiencing, and help them understand why specific tools and skills work. At the end of every meeting, I ask for any next-session topics that could use further exploration, and at the beginning of each session, I follow through on prior goals as well as ask about anything new that might need priority.
