Over my career, I have worked with many folks who are in process of evaluating their lives, relationships, and values. This may be in conjunction with a mood disorder, questioning their relationship with substances, or seeking an understanding of the intersection of their identity, life events, and socio-political context. My hope is that we both bring our authentic selves into the room, acknowledging the inherent and invisible differences and privilege we each hold. You do not have to feel entirely ready for change to reach out for help. We all deserve support, exactly as we are.
My clinical focus on trauma, depression, substance use, and major life transitions prioritizes a space of safety, authenticity, and shared goals. Sex & body positivity woven throughout. I am queer/lesbian and my work with the queer community holds expansive & fluid definitions of sexuality & gender and strives to remove barriers to gender-affirming care.
My hope is that our sessions are a place to let go of apology & shame - for taking space, for pain that feels like "too much," for imperfection & perceived failure - and to begin to build self-compassion and self-kindness. If that sounds ridiculous, we should definitely connect. Must be willing to tolerate affirmation, dark humor, and far too many plants.
