Therapy can feel like an elusive concept, one that supposedly provides a solution for emotional struggles if you do it the “right way.” I believe in an individualized approach to therapy, because there is no “right way”; there is only the way that makes the most sense for you. In this regard, I may use different modalities, but more importantly I will use what I learn about you to help us collaborate effectively on your mental health. I have experience working with a diverse range of people, including the LGBTQ+ community, current and former sex workers, and both adolescents and adults.
I am certified in LGBTQ-Affirmative CBT and have experience using IFS, Motivational Interviewing and trauma-informed therapy. My specialties include sexuality/gender identity development, non-monogamy and relationship anarchy, sex work affirming therapy and body neutrality. I also hold a Masters in Sociology, which informs a critical lens to my work.
I am both warm and understanding, while remaining firm in the work I believe we are meant to do together. I am comfortable easing clients through somatic exercises as much as I am comfortable leading clients through exploring trauma and pain. I believe in truly establishing if we are a good fit before committing to an ongoing therapeutic relationship.
