About My Clients
I work primarily with folks in the queer/trans/poly/kink community. Whether you want to use therapy to talk specifically about issues related to these identities or just want a space where you don't have to define a lot of terms, I could be a good fit. I tend to work with folks on relationship issues, gender transitions, long term trauma, managing mental health diagnoses (like biploar) and substance use issues.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in relational psychodynamic therapies which focus on depth of identity and self: what motivates you; where do you find meaning in life; how have your relationships with family and significant others shaped who you are? I view my therapeutic practice as a space in which I can live out my belief that relationship is a deep resource for healing even as it a place of wounding for many of us. Therapy is a sacred, messy, and sometimes confusing process. Goals are generally set by the client, but my overall intentions when I go to work with someone are to create a space that feels safe, that is non-judgmental, and that encourages reflection, curiosity, and creativity.
