My therapeutic approach is rooted in the belief that trauma and systemic oppression often impact our ability to connect with ourselves and the community around us. My areas of specialization include transgenerational trauma, BDSM/TPE/kink relationships and community, alternative and consensual non-monogamy relationships, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, sex work community, pagan and diverse spiritualities, neurodiversity, disabilities/chronic illness, and life transitions.
My work is influenced by and primarily utilizes a trauma-informed and culturally responsive liberation psychology framework to integrate evidence and strengths-based techniques to foster self-compassion, honesty, and integrity.
As your therapist it is my aim to collaborate with you, the expert of your lived experience, in a compassionate and curious environment. It is my privilege to help meet you where you are and hold the space to facilitate inner understanding, discovery and actualization.
