About My Clients
I help other neurodiverse, fat, kinky, non-binary, trans* and queer folx of color reclaim those parts we've been taught to hate.
My Background and Approach
CURIOUSITY: Fucking around and finding out. Queer becomes more than an identity label when you realize there’s seriously no singular “right” way to do things. Together, we can get into some good trouble by challenging those “standards” and redefining what feels “right” for you. CONNECTION: Being with and accepting all that you are, as you are. Not to be confused with apathy, hopelessness or passiveness. Being connected is an active choice to come at those parts of us we hate with compassion and curiosity. COMPASSION: Doing hard things in soft ways. As a result of trauma, oftentimes, we’ll raise our shields and create armor to protect us from the pain. While that’s completely understandable, closing ourselves up from the bad stuff will simultaneously block us from receiving any goodness. What we may have done in the past to help us survive may not be serving us as much anymore. Our sessions can be a space for you to set down that armor, just for a little bit, and rest.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
Our intersectional identities affect how we experience and are experienced by others. Conditional belonging crafted from capitalist standards reinforce hate, judgement and rejection. These intergenerational and insidious inflictions make it hard to show up each day. In a world that displaces its pathology on people who are othered, I'm not here to help folx cope with a sick world. As a multicultural community based counselor and sex therapist, I'm here to center radical authenticity, extend queerness outside of its existing labels, and cultivate curiosity, connection and compassion in community with others.
