Life presents many challenges and struggles and sometimes, it may feel, too little time to voice complex emotions. Yet, an exploration of the nuances of one’s history, relationships, dreams, and desires can help alleviate suffering and increase flexibility in the present moment. Therapy, I believe, can provide this space to become, to play, feel, speak. My integrative approach holds space for family of origin, intergenerational, intersectional and broader social-cultural dynamics.
I appreciate working with people through effects of complex trauma, addictive cycles as well as exploring identity questions across the lifespan. I welcome folx from the LGBTQIA+ as well as BDSM/kink and ENM communities in my practice.
If my practice feels like a fit, reach out, I'll look forward to connecting!
