About My Clients
My practice is centered in supporting queer, trans, neurodivergent, polyamorous, survivors and community in reconnecting to or building closer relationship with our identities, personal and generational histories, values, and desires from an anti-carceral, care-centered and relationship oriented lens.
My Background and Approach
My therapeutic approach is relational, attachment-based, trauma informed, anti-oppressive, and systemic, and I am guided by anti-racist, harm reduction, anti-imperialist, transformative justice, anti-carceral, and disability justice values. I strive for my therapy to move away from pathologizing models centered on managing symptoms and move more towards understanding somatically how systems of oppression operate at all levels to disconnect us from our bodies, our histories, and others and leave us feeling disempowered, unsafe, shallow, or frustrated by our own stuckness. Together, we can pull together the threads of your stories and experiences to find where you can build safety within yourself and your relationships, attune yourself to how your body is carrying the impacts of larger systems of oppression, and practice building relationships that are aligned with the futures you desire.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a white queer, neurodivergent, trans person with an affinity for joy and laughter. Many of the ways we understand therapy or have been taught about therapy are rooted in upholding whiteness and white supremacy values, so as a white person in this work it's my responsibility to root my work within a Black liberation and indigenous sovereignty praxis. I approach my work from a foundation of connection and reconnection to trust in ourselves, our bodies, our communities, our individual, shared, and generational histories, and to land. To me, therapy can and should be a space where you can build up the support and skills that facilitate and sustain community connection, safety, and action.
