Hi! Change is scary- I am here to help you make those changes a little easier.
There are so many reasons folx come to therapy, but most often it is because folx notice something isn’t working quite right for themself, their relationship, or their child. Sound familiar? I work collaboratively with my clients to understand their emotional landscape. In doing so we can figure out what works and to make adjustments to unhelpful patterns and coping strategies. Sometimes this means understanding how our past affects the present. Sometimes this means understanding how our location and place in society affects our day to day. Whatever it is, we’ll find it together.
My practice is rooted in the belief that therapy is a form of liberation in that by understanding yourself or your relationship(s), you can be free of the unhelpful coping strategies and live a more fulfilling life. I am relational, person-centered, and trauma- and strengths-informed. Each person, relationship, or polycule is unique, so we will collaborate to tailor your therapy. I draw upon the following therapies: humanistic, attachment, liberation, feminist, and cognitive behavioral (CBT).
Who I work with
I work with adults, teens, couples, and polyamrous constellations. I have in-depth knowledge of the LGBTQIA2-S+ communities, neurodiversity, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, trauma, life transitions, grief, gender exploration/affirmation, health at every size, kink, and polyamory.
