About My Clients
As an openly queer and non-binary therapist, I specialize in working with LGBTQIAP+, non-monogamous, and kinky clients. I have expertise in treating trauma, cultivating secure attachments, and facilitating identity exploration. You are the expert of your own experience, and I view my role in your healing or exploratory process as one of a compassionate, affirming guide as you come home to your Self.
My Background and Approach
My approach to therapy is client-centered, trauma- and social justice-informed, and rooted in Internal Family Systems (IFS) theory. IFS is a transformative therapeutic modality and movement promoting a holistic, affirming, and non-pathologizing approach to gain harmony within. I view the mind as naturally multiple, and welcome each part of you to speak its truth and be witnessed in a safe container within our relationship. IFS theory proposes that everyone possesses a “Self,” an inner resource at the very core of one’s being that keeps one grounded and open-hearted. It is my belief that one’s Self holds within it the power of healing, yielding integration and wholeness within. In addition to being grounded in IFS theory, my work strives to recognize and validate the many intersections of your identity. I am committed to fostering a space and community that is inclusive, affirming, and safe for your healing and exploration. All of you is welcome here.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
"The personal is politcal," and it is my belief that therapy is also political. As a revolutionary socialist, I stand for empowering the working class, dismantling systems of oppression, such as capitalism, and finding safety in community through mutual aid initiatives on an international basis. In our work together, my therapeutic style is one that is rooted in anti-oppression. We may have open dialogue about the power differential between us as therapist and client, and collaboratively, can work to ensure you feel empowered and informed about the care that you receive from me.
