Hello, I'm glad you are here, whether this is your first foray into therapy or you've been at it a while and are trying to find a great fit. My values strongly influence my way of being in the world, including as a therapist so I will start by saying I am a kink, polyamory/non-monogamy, queer and trans-affirming feminist and committed to consistently deepening my knowledge and practical actions around anti-racism, disability advocacy, housing security, and other ways people are marginalized.
Clients typically work with me on life transitions and/or trauma healing.
Life transitions (for example: opening a relationship, graduation, divorce, moving, coming out, or social and/or medical gender transition) can be destabilizing but also an opportunity to explore our patterns, values, and goals. My style in this work varies based on the client's level of interest in structure, but I center autonomy, the strengths you've brought to other life challenges, and encouragement.
Trauma healing can be an intimidating process. Many of the people I work with have tried many things to help shift their patterns, change their narratives about themselves and the world, feel safer, and develop a sense of belonging in this world. I flexibly work with my clients on helping them meet those goals, I bring patience, education/training, warmth, and a firm belief that you can keep healing with effective effort. Sometimes this takes a few tries to find the modality that best suits your needs, I have received significant training in a few different trauma healing modalities to try to best accommodate this.
If these sound like things that you would like to work on together, please connect with me for a free 15 minute consultation. You may also check out my website if you'd like to learn more about me and my practice.
