About My Clients
I specialize in working with LGBTQ diverse clients as well as exploring sexuality and am very kink/fetish positive and experienced. I am an expressive art therapist and like to think outside of the box. I enjoy helping folks explore their relationships as well and am also experienced with alternative relationship styles, such as consensual non-monogamy and polyamory. I also specialize in trauma and chronic health issues. Life is already hard enough so let's find ways to be soft with ourselves.
My Background and Approach
Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Expressive Art Therapist. I am not a blank slate therapist and am quite expressive (which could be assumed due to being an expressive art therapist). I have personal experience with mental health illnesses, chronic physical health issues, addiction as well as my own fair share of trauma. I am no stranger to being in your chair as well and what courage it takes to take these steps whether it be your first therapy session or your 100th. I like to think of myself as a river guide. I will give you info on what trees are best to use for your boat and help you build your boat. I will go on the boat with you and point out hazards but it is up to you to keep paddling and letting me know how you are feeling and what you are up for. Let's start building that boat! I am here to sit in the muddy waters with you BUT best believe I will be there to reflect when it's time to get up!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am very transparent about where I stand politically aka human rights and am a loud and proud queer! Therapy already has power dynamics and I as a white cis person am very aware of this and do my best to name it, listen and make changes when needed. I am a strong believer in community support before reaching out to the police.
