What Working Together Looks Like

Therapy is a relationship. It is a relationship that centers you and whatever work you hope to do. I aim to co-create a therapy space that is non-judgmental, authentic, and collaborative. 

My work is trauma-informed. This includes naming systems that cause(d) harm, centering consent and empowerment, and continuously striving to be anti-oppressive in my professional and personal life. 

I use relational and feminist approaches which includes depathologizing responses to violence and harm (systemic or otherwise), viewing connection as strength, valuing lived experience and personal knowledge, and working to create power-with (rather than power-over) dynamics. I continue to develop and grow as a therapist through ongoing training, workshops, books, conversation and my own self work.

My practice is rooted in creativity. Creativity is reflected in the process of creating healing, change, and/or growth. It exists in your ability to create what you want for yourself. I see creativity as exploration, problem solving, and imagining. It supports expression, learning through doing, practicing and meaning making both in therapy and in your life beyond therapy. Creativity exists in each session as we collaboratively build a therapeutic experience that is unique to you.

I hope to build a therapeutic relationship that is affirming and validating of who you are and what you value. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, sex positive, fat positive, and respect spiritual and cultural practices. I hope to support you in connecting to yourself, others, place, and sense of belonging and in building practices of care, play, and pleasure - integral pieces of personal repair and collective liberation.

It is truly an honor and a privilege to be in therapeutic relationships with those I work with. I hold this work dearly.
