About My Clients
I see individuals, families, and partnerships who identify as LGBTQIA+, all ethnicities, all body sizes, all abilities, and all relationship styles such as non-monogamy, polyamory, and relationship anarchy. You can expect therapy with me to explore your families of origin, the important people in your life, your belief systems, your interests and hobbies, and your journey into the present moment. You can expect me to sit in complexity with you, validate your strength, and gently challenge you.
My Background and Approach
Together we can work to discover ways that you can exist authentically within your relationships and life. I believe that our pasts, our relationships with others, our communities, and the greater systems that surround us are all influential parts of who we are and how we exist in the world. Challenges happen when these parts come into conflict with how we would like to be. This means that I strive to create a space that is gentle and caring, that is sex and body positive, where all abilities, relationship styles, and cultures and backgrounds are honored and examined, with the intent of working with you to find ways to exist with contentment and authenticity. I use approaches from Attachment, Narrative, Systems, and Intergenerational based therapies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am queer, South Asian, and white. These identities only begin to touch on who I am and the complexities I hold. As a person with many intersecting identities and complexities, some that are valued more than others, I know firsthand what it is like to feel like I can't be my whole self. I also know how good it can feel to have a space to exist with contentment and authenticity. With that in mind, my goal is to help you find the value in your whole self. This can look like honoring the strength in the ways you've coped, finally doing that thing you've always wanted to do, exploring how to set boundaries, or learning to feel the things you've pushed away. It can also look like feeling angry about capitalism, talking about your pets, or discussing your favorite book. Just know my goal is create a space where you can exist exactly as you are.
