Style & Experience

Therapeutic Style

My approach begins with hearing your story and naming areas of desired change and growth. Through curiosity, warmth, and honesty, I work to join you in connecting your history, relationships, and environment, to your current challenges and journey towards healing.

As a trauma-informed therapist, I work towards creating a safe, affirming, and collaborative space where clients can be both vulnerable and empowered. I believe that we can experience aspects of trauma in our daily lives, from living in past pain to experiencing the ways oppressive systems harm our relationship to ourselves, community, and autonomy daily.

As a therapist who strives to practice through an anti-oppressive lens, I am interested in co-creating space that challenges dominating narratives and structures. I am attentive to the ways that power, privilege/oppression, and marginalization impact our experiences of emotions, relationships, and histories.

I believe that healing comes in endless forms that are all meaningful and valuable. I approach psychotherapy with a critical lens, knowing that it is rooted in white supremacy and colonialism. Important and necessary experiences of healing are also found outside of the institution of psychology. This can look like integrating and finding ways to heal outside of the therapy space and integrating collective, chosen, cultural, practices into your process.

Although I am influenced by various theories and training, I center your needs throughout our sessions. Some sessions may focus on identifying coping strategies and others on processing current and past experiences. Working together may feel like talking to a confidant, someone who affirms and reflects your experiences, or someone who creates space to explore difficult questions.

I believe that the relationship we build is our main avenue for healing. I value the autonomy of my clients and aim to work together in a way that fosters safety, vulnerability, authenticity, empowerment, and care.

My approach is insight and depth oriented. It is primarily influenced by:

  • Relational and Psychodynamic theory
  • Attachment theory
  • Liberation psychology
  • Queer theory
  • Critical theory
  • Intersectional feminist theory

Social Location

I am a white, queer, able-bodied, neurodivergent, thin-bodied individual (she/her pronouns). I actively practice relationship anarchy.

Areas of Expertise

Those who work with me are often exploring intersections of gender, sexuality, and race, complex trauma, privileges, marginalization, relationships, life transitions, depression, and anxiety.

I have extensive experience working with LGBTQIA2S+ folks, trauma survivors, white folks exploring their own racial identity, BIPOC folks, those in consensual non-monogamous/polyamorous communities, neurodivergent folks, those within BDSM/kink communities, and undergraduate and graduate students. Those who are often drawn working with me might identify as artists, radicals, rebels, and misfits.
