You deserve to feel seen, understood, and respected by your therapist. Having to explain or even justify core parts of yourself can feel daunting, so working with someone who has lived experience with queerness, transness, neurodivergence, non-monogamy, and/or kink may feel like an apt starting place. It may feel useful to know that your therapist gets it because they’ve lived it as well. If you feel “othered” in areas of your life, why not find a space where you feel a sense of belonging without judgment?

As a relational therapist with a socially-just and trauma-informed lens, I view the therapeutic relationship as one of the most crucial tools to effective psychotherapy. It’s important to me to foster trust, respect, and transparency so that you can feel safe and comfortable to be vulnerable. I view you as an individual, informed by your past experiences and traumas, your identities, and the overall social context in which you exist; these are not separate nor irrelevant to your overall relationship to yourself, others, and the world at large and should not be dismissed nor ignored in therapy.

We will work collaboratively to make therapy work for you- whatever that means to you. I want to know about your hopes and goals and if you’re unsure, we can figure it out together. Maybe you’re struggling with relationships, anxiety, depression, or just stuck in patterns that are no longer serving you. Or perhaps you’re navigating life transitions and just trying to figure out who you and what you want. No matter where you’re at in this journey, I’m here to ride along side you. Ultimately, therapy is meant to be a place where you can take up all the space you need. You’re the expert of your life and story and I’m here to witness and guide.
