My Ideal Client

I strive to make my practice a safe space for folx of all ethnic/racial identities, religions and spiritual practices, socioeconomic ranges, genders, abilities, sizes, relationship styles/structures, sexual orientations, and immigration statuses. I work exclusively with individual adults. Clients who tend to find me are those who have survived various forms of trauma, who may work in the sex-work industry and anyone who needs a space that is about them, and for them to process life.

My Approach to Helping

I draw from the integrated theoretical frameworks of Person-Centered Therapy, Feminist Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS). IFS is a non-pathologizing, evidence based conceptual tool that sees every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts lead by a core Self. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their preferred states into extreme roles within us. This can happen several ways, including trauma and attachment injuries. Part of therapy utilizing the IFS perspective is helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.

My Values as a Therapist

I am a LGBTQ2IA+ friendly/affirming, and a sex-positive therapist. I support folx in exploring and defining how they want to be in relationships (or not!) and I believe sex work is real work. These values show up in the trainings I attend, how I show up in the counseling room and how I carry myself in my personal/political actions. It's also important to me to do what I can to make therapy accessible. I know it can be a huge expense when paying out of pocket, or even trying to cover a co-pay. Please feel free to reach out to inquire about reduced fee options.
