I believe change happens in relationship, whether that’s on an individual or societal level. Together we can recognize how systems of oppression have made us sick while allowing ourselves to claim our own growth and healing. I hope to wade with you through the messiness of your complex reality and help facilitate movement towards liberation, as you define it. I may be a fit if you are on a personal journey with your identities and/or unlearning internalized oppression (e.g. transphobia, racism, ableism). Often that can look like exploring substance use, trauma, relationships, body image, mood, anxiety, and how to live authentically.
My style is relational, flexible, person-centered, and humorous. My stance is driven by my values of anti-oppression, feminism, community, and respect. I believe in your inherent capacity and aspire to be alongside you as you manifest the life that you want to lead.
I specialize in depth-oriented psychotherapy with folks pushed to the margins (e.g. trans/gender-expansive, queer, BIPOC, chronically ill, people using substances) and flexibly apply evidence-based techniques I have cultivated over years of training. While I value what I have learned, none of it outweighs the expertise you have on your own experience.
