My Ideal Client

As a queer person, I believe my client's when they tell me about their histories and their hopes for the future. I know that inviting someone else into your life, or your relationships can feel risky. I don't see myself as an expert, a judge, or a product manager. I'm here to support you and your partner(s) as you create a meaningful life worth living.

My Approach to Helping

I'm a therapist because life and/or oppressive systems create experiences, biases, and coping skills that don't always reinforce that we matter. Therefore, my role is to support you as you create a meaningful life worth living. My goal is to be a consistent and collaborative support with my clients. Additionally, I value communicating with transparency, kindness and directness.

Why I am a Good Fit for You

We might be a 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? 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? What are boundaries, really? Do any of these concepts mean something to me: decolonization, feminist-intersectional, parts work, narrative or somatics? Or, If you are looking for a relationship therapist- What is "working" within our current relationship(s)? What parts of me are drawn to or activated by the various parts within you? What would healthy and holistic boundaries look like for us? What patterns are my partner(s) and I stuck in? What realities do we dream for our relationship(s)?
