About My Clients
Are you queer, non-monogamous, or kinky? Are you a former gifted kid now feelings burned out from trying to meet expectations set for you? Are you neurodiverse and seeking support in both managing symptoms and celebrating your strengths? Did you grow up religious and are now finding the beliefs you were given don't align with who you are? If you are seeking to learn more coping tools or better understand who you are, it would be my great honor to join you for that journey.
My Background and Approach
Therapy is a collaborative process build on human connection. I work from a strengths based approach and I believe you are the expert on your own life. You already have all the skills and abilities you need to live your best life, you may just need space and support in finding or developing them. I believe in asking questions about the stories we tell ourselves and learning how they are impacting us. If those stories are no longer serving you, we can discard them and write new stories together. My training has focused on trauma work, mindfulness, somatic work, and on building relationships with people. I believe our relationship with our mind and body informs so much of how we move through the world and work from a holistic lens. My goal is to give you tools or challenge stories you tell yourself so you can build the life you want, free of shame.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in the capacity for growth within all of us. I am active in my communities doing education and advocacy for queer and non-monogamous individuals. I also am very involved in spaces for those who have left evangelical Christianity or other high demand religions and are working to build new ethics, a new belief system, and discover who they are now. I work within the realms of healing sexual shame, especially that brought on my religion and evangelical purity culture. Much of this comes from my own experiences as a queer and polyamorous person who was raised within this culture and my own journey through deconstruction. I believe strongly in the need to interrogate my own privilege and a white, cis, able-bodied person who may not always see the ways certain systems impact people who do not have the same experiences I do.
