About My Clients
Feel unseen and unheard? A deep feeler tangled in big emotions? Expressing yourself easier than parallel parking a bus? No? Facing challenges with immigration, race, and gender norms? Let's explore your relationships, including our therapeutic one. I offer compassionate honesty and a creative, collaborative (and sometimes bluntly honest) approach. Together, we'll untangle your experiences and see how your past shaped your present. Let’s walk this path of healing together.
My Background and Approach
With a focus on LGBTQ+, kink, poly/ENM, and sex work communities, my inclusive and integrative approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness, somatic work, Gestalt therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I am also a longtime practitioner of the Alexander Technique, which helps clients reconnect with their bodies on a deeper level. My personal journey of navigating my identity and relationships equips me with a unique understanding of the struggles faced within these communities. I am committed to creating a safe and affirming space for clients to explore their identities and heal from trauma. Currently training to become a licensed sex therapist, I focus on guiding clients through gender and sexuality exploration, as well as addressing sex and sexual trauma. My rich background in arts allows me to incorporate creative elements into therapy, offering alternative avenues for self-expression.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the inherent worth and dignity of all individuals. As a non-binary, queer person, I am committed to advocating for marginalized communities and am actively involved in the LGBTQ+ community. Supporting social movements to address systemic oppression and promote justice is a personal mission of mine. I volunteer with mental health and suicide prevention organizations, understanding the impact of these struggles. My experiences drive my dedication to creating safe, affirming spaces where people can feel seen and valued. Creativity is key in my therapeutic approach. I incorporate art, music, and writing to help clients explore unique self-expression as part of their healing journey. In my personal life, I value authenticity, kindness, and continuous learning. I strive to be an ally and advocate for all my clients, believing in their ability to grow and heal. Please feel free to reach out if you would like to connect more!
