About My Clients
I encourage my patients to bring all parts of themselves into the therapy room. I strive to create a space that celebrates and affirms people of all racial, ethnic, gender, and sexual identities. My practice affirms people in marginalized relationship constellations and with marginalized sexual identities, including non-monogamy, polyamory, those who practice kink, and people who are asexual.
My Background and Approach
My approach is grounded in psychodynamic and relational perspectives, attachment theory, and an awe for the human capacity for change and healing. My background includes supporting adults in residential treatment for eating disorders, providing individual and group therapy to adults in early recovery from substance use, and facilitating psychotherapy groups on grief, chronic illness, and DBT skills. Prior to becoming a therapist, I offered humanitarian aid and mutual aid work on the Southern border, studied as an herbalist, and worked in sexual assault crisis counseling.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a relational therapist, I am grounded in a belief that relationships can be transformative, and that there is great healing potential in the unique relationship between therapist and patient. Many of us come to therapy feeling alone, misunderstood and hurt. In the therapeutic relationship, there is an opportunity to be seen and understood in new ways, and to explore relational patterns in a safer space. I believe that what happens inside of our minds and bodies cannot be isolated from what happens outside- in our relationships, environment, and society. Structural oppression and intergenerational trauma can have a deep impact on both wounding and recovery. As such, I endeavor to understand personal experiences in this larger, systemic, context. Foundational to my work is a belief in your innate wisdom and capacity for healing. I will honor your self-determination and agency and support you as you envision new possibilities for your life.
