Approach to Therapy

I'm a therapist because life and/or oppressive systems create experiences, biases, and coping skills that don't always reinforce that we matter. As a queer person, I believe my clients when they tell me about their histories and their hopes for the future. I know that inviting someone else into your life can feel risky. I don't see myself as an expert, a judge, or a product manager. I'm here to support you as you create a meaningful life worth living. 

We might be a good fit if you are looking for a 1:1 therapist and any of these questions feel familiar:

• Am I exploring my queer and/or trans identity in relationship to my family, my community, society and/or the history/ancestry of queer and/or trans people? 

• Am I curious about what’s going on in my body, because I am often stuck in my head?

• How do I process the impact of the trauma or pain carried by those who have hurt me, or those that I have loved?

• What are boundaries, really?

• Is my curiosity piqued by any of the following perspectives: decolonization, feminist-intersectional, parts work, narrative and/or somatics?

If you feel something stirring, I'd love to meet you and see if we are a good fit!
