Waitlist for new clients
Dr. Teddie partners with queer, poly, and minority identified adults to heal from the relational and systemic trauma that is causing disconnection from self and others.

I am hella good at helping my clients feel safe and seen and healing the shit that’s holding them back from loving themselves and others well.

I am absolutely crazy about helping humans access their full potential. I believe it is my dharma – or my sacred calling. I believe that each human being has a divine purpose. I believe that separation from this purpose is the source of much of our suffering. I see my role as a trusted companion on your journey back to this divine purpose - back to your authentic Self. In our work together, I invite you to reclaim sovereignty over your mental health through a process of radical acceptance.

All humans are wired for connection – we need it on the most basic level from the moment we are born and throughout our lifetime. But humans are the worst! And the best! Humans are complicated. We need each other, we love each other, we hurt each other – we develop ways of reaching out for connection that might not be working anymore. This is where I come in. I work with people who are experiencing distress within themselves and in their relationships. We will identify the unhelpful beliefs and patterns that keep you stuck, and then learning new ways of relating to yourself and others that make you feel…..dare I say it?… happy!

Do you perceive yourself or have been told by others you are “too sensitive” or a chronic “overthinker”? Have you felt as though others might be missing something or aren't seeing the world through the same lens? Do you feel like you are trying to make jazz music in a world that insists upon classical? Do you have a hard time being gentle on yourself when overwhelmed by small things like overhead lighting, running late, going to the grocery store? Do you find yourself questioning social rules like why do I have to smile at strangers? Why are pjs not acceptable adult clothing?

I work alongside my clients to help them move towards their goals and reconnect with what matters most to them. Compassion, creativity, and a social-justice lens are important to me and informs my practice. I want for you to feel heard, understood, and validated. At the same time, know that I will challenge you when it is appropriate, and encourage you to experiment with doing things differently than you may have done before. Relief and healing is possible, change and flourishing is possible, but not without effort on your part. Therapy is about getting the support you need, while learning ways to cope, recover, grow, and thrive.

Coming from a mixed background is incredible! But sometimes it can feel like you are not enough or you’re doing too much at the same. damn. time! No matter what you do, someone isn’t going to like it. It's as if all your different parts are kept separate and it's hard to feel like anyone can see or know the whole you. This feeling keeps you closed off from others - and yourself. You’re constantly regulating yourself and “acting right” but that shit is painful. You don’t ever feel fully free.
