People often come to therapy to try to understand something: something about themselves, their relationships, or their past experiences. I enjoy joining my clients in these moments of exploration with warmth, attunement, and collaboration. I support clients in navigating oppressive systems and experiences in their everyday lives, as well as in their personal and ancestral pasts. I’m interested in making space for all parts of you, including the parts that may feel “bad,” shameful, or wrong. I work with individuals ages 14 and older.
I work psychodynamically and am interested in exploring your underlying needs and desires. Bringing awareness to unknown parts of oneself can support healing by increasing understanding of one’s own patterns. I specialize in working with people with marginalized gender and sexual identities/experiences, including queer, trans, polyam, and kinky clients.
If you have ever felt like an outsider because of your identities, past experiences, sensitivity, gifts, or because of how you live in this world, you deserve a space that is dedicated to your healing and growth. Reach out today to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we’re the right fit!
