About My Clients
I work predominantly with women and LGBTQIA+ people (and couples) working through relational issues & trauma and who are wanting to explore the origins of their distress. I also work with children and adolescents, incorporating interventions from play and art therapy. With my clients, I enjoy weaving through moments of healing insight and moments of intentional growth while honoring our changing needs and overall goals.
My Background and Approach
I look at emotional suffering through the lens of relational-cultural theory, and find much of our distress can be traced back to experiencing big emotions unwillingly alone. My job, as your therapist, is to assist you in replacing these relational images (or ideas of how things will go) with new ideas. I will do so by providing you with an open, welcoming, and attuned space, and by inviting all versions of you to show up to each session. Whether we explore new ways of managing your anxiety and sadness, giggle through a recent relational hiccup, or challenge ourselves by diving into some untapped memories, I will be alongside you every step of the way — showing up as all of the versions of myself just as well.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am nonjudgmental, queer- and gender-affirming, and sex-positive. I care deeply about what goes on in the world around me, and am always motivated to fight for the human rights of those in my life and well beyond. I am not only an emotional comrade to my clients, but also an advocate, and I hope to use my resources and privileges to advocate for my clients' needs.
