About My Clients
Come as you are and we will work together as team to identify what kind of support therapy can offer you. You can expect a non-judgemental space where your voice, your story and your needs are heard and honored.
My Background and Approach
I am trained in both art therapy and talk therapy. I strive to create a non-judgemental space where clients can explore the extent to which artmaking is incorporated in their healing and treatment. I use an intersectional, anti-oppressive approach that empowers clients to be active contributors in their healing process and encourages self-expression. I ground myself and my work in Lived Experience Based Practices. My aim is to center and celebrate all folks through neurodivergent-affirming practices, prioritizing sensory needs, offering grounding, utilizing storytelling, and creating safe environments for creative expression. I draw from trauma-informed, person-centered, strengths-based, and narrative theoretical perspectives. In therapy sessions, I encourage folks to show up exactly as they are, knowing they will be met with acceptance and support.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I strive to create a non-judgemental space where clients can explore the extent to which artmaking is incorporated in their healing and treatment. I am a queer therapist, accepting and celebrating folks of all sexual orientations and gender identities with a specialization in asexual spectrum identities. I recognize the healing power of community and representation. My work is informed by my previous experience supporting LGBTQ youth as well as my own personal experiences in navigating queer identity. I am also knowledgeable on ethical non-monogamy and polyamory from education and research in addition in lived experience.
