My Approach to Helping

My practice is grounded in my training as an Expressive Arts Therapist. This means that depending on your preferences and style of processing, we have the option to incorporate visual art, music, movement, writing and play into sessions to explore other modes of expression beyond talk therapy. My hope is that therapy can be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, so that we can work through things together that might feel otherwise uncomfortable or heavy to process alone.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Personally, I learned about grief & loss, and “feeling different” at a young age. These experiences have led me to be able to look at situations from many angles and listen deeply and respectfully. As a neurodivergent queer & trans person, I naturally frame my practice through a lens that challenges oppressive systems, including recognizing my own role in systems of power (for example, as a white therapist). In our work, I hope to create a space where you can feel safe(r) to bring your intersectional identities. I dream of a world where there is equitable access to housing, healthy food, healthcare and rest. What gets me through hard times: tuning into seasonal cycles, plant propagation, herbalism and home-cooked meals.
