The people I tend to connect with the best identify as members of the LGBTQ+ population, are curious about themselves, and who co-create a space with me for them to feel witnessed in.
I love to engage in the process with others who are figuring out who they are and how to express themselves in a world that appears to have a limited capacity for tolerating difference. I do my best to sit with curiosity and empathetic witnessing of the emotional spectrum with radical acceptance and mindfulness.

I am a queer identified transman and have worked extensively with the LGBTQIA community.
I became a therapist because I believe that growth and change are possible. Whatever brings you here looking holds a bit of that truth already. I offer presence, warmth, and direct attention in sessions to help bring you back to yourself, where the seeds for growth already exist. I practice Gestalt therapy which is rooted in existentialism and finding ground in the present moment. I also rely on 10+ years of meditation practice, humor, authenticity, and a genuine passion for the gift of being alive.

The heart of my work is providing politically informed relational talk therapy from a queer and trans perspective.
I might be a good fit if you think it's time to talk about the hard stuff. If you're open to being vulnerable. If you find it helpful to say things out loud and want a counselor who will think out loud with you. If you want to feel both supported and challenged. And if you want to look at the politics surrounding your life, relationships, and struggles

I believe many of us become so good at surviving that we lose touch with ourselves in the process. We learn to hide parts of who we are, question our own experiences, or live from fear instead of choice. I work with LGBTQIA2S+, trans, and neurodivergent adults, couples, and families navigating trauma, identity, relationships, emotional intensity, grief, and life's many transitions. Together, we make sense of your story, reconnect with what matters most to you, and build a life that feels more honest, connected, and worth living.

Hi, my name is Luisa. I take a person-centered, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive approach to therapy. My goal is to enhance the agency of my clients by forming a safe and empowering helping relationship. My therapeutic approach tends to utilize humanistic, narrative, and Power-Threat-Meaning frameworks, with some mindfulness and DBT skills thrown in as needed. I take a collaborative approach to diagnosis and treatment planning because I believe that clients are experts in their own lived experiences.

Considered counseling but don't want to be confined to an office? Know you need help, but sitting down and talking about it sounds overwhelming? Tried to connect your teen with a therapist but it never works out? Then Connected Roots Counseling might be right for you. I approach therapy as a radical act of care, connection, and reclamation. I do not see any person as being broken or in need of fixing—but rather, being shaped by systems, histories, and daily conditions that often demand disconnection from self, body, land, and reality. I offer a unique ecotherapy practice to address these, and many more issues.
