About My Clients
Are you worried that you'll spend your entire life not really knowing who you are or what you like? Are you seeking more pleasurable experiences or finding that the idea of pleasure frightens you? Maybe you're feeling crushed into the capitalist machine and societal expectations and wanting to shed the dread, self-hatred, and general disgust you've been taught to feel. I'm here to support you in figuring out what feels good and true to you and leaving the shame behind.
My Background and Approach
I approach therapy as a space to figure out who you are, embrace you as your full self, and ask questions about what life means, where you’ve been, and where you’re going. I will remain curious and creative, and together we will figure out what therapeutic tools work best for you. I may integrate guided imagery, movement, breathwork, mindfulness, creative arts, music, games, and other activities that may be more abstract than typical talk therapy. When you think about therapy with me, imagine your favorite things about yourself, your life, and culture are in the room with us. Many of the things you may not like about yourself or your life may also be invited to the party—and that’s totally okay and normal! Maybe those things aren’t always comfy or fun for you, but we will work together to find healing and acceptance, and figure out what you want to keep or let go of, what you might like to learn, and how you’ll do it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am an abolitionist, pleasure and liberation-oriented therapist and I believe that every person, no matter who they are or how they exist in the world, deserves to feel good and have a meaningful life. I believe that it is my job to support you in having the autonomy to choose what is best for you and building the skills to do that if you need to. Navigating school, work, and relationships can be difficult on their own, and that is made more complex by the many layers of our identities that shape how we experience the world. As a queer, femme, Black, and mixed-race person, I know how confusing it can be when the world makes you feel like you don’t belong or fit anywhere. Our unique and complex identities ensure that every healing and liberation journey is different, and I am here to guide you on that journey.
