I believe therapy serves two main functions: change and healing. Therapeutic change occurs when we take control of our lives and our stories. In therapy, I encourage you to incorporate your strengths into a larger conversation about who you are, who you want to be, and how you can get there. Where change comes from transformation; healing comes from liberation. Therapy provides liberation from individual wounds; however, therapy must also be a space for healing and liberation from the effects of systemic oppression.
I see therapy (whether individual or relational) as an inherently active and collaborative experience. You are the expert in your life; I provide you the space and the tools to facilitate change and healing. My therapy is informed by a systemic, strengths-based approach meant to utilize the skills you already possess.
My specialty is working with LGBTQ+, kinky, and/or poly clients. As a person at the intersection of these identities, I know that finding a therapist who gets it can be a challenge - I hope my therapy room is just that space. I'm also trained to work with individuals and relational systems - including D/s relationships and polycules.
