Introduction

As a non-binary, transgender clinician, my practice is shaped by an expansive understanding of gender. This kind of expansive thinking informs all aspects of my work. Together, we can become curious about the structures, rules, compulsions, and patterns that shape your life. Where did these ideas come from? How are they serving you? Do you feel like you’re living in alignment with your desires for yourself? I hold an empathetic, compassionate, non-judgmental space for us to explore these questions honestly and courageously. I strive to make the therapeutic relationship a site where clients can experience healing through connection, support, curiosity, and open exploration. Every connection is unique, and I am excited to co-create a dynamic that is specific to your needs and experiences. Because I believe that the relationship is so central to the work of therapy, I offer free 15 minute phone consults to potential clients. This allows you to discuss any questions or concerns, and decide if my approach is the right fit for your needs. No trauma is too big to find healing, no pain point is too small to learn from. Theoretical Frameworks: Psychodynamic, Attachment, Post-Structuralist, Liberation Health Model, Anti-Oppression, Family Systems Theory Modalities: Attachment-Based Therapy, techniques from Somatic Experiencing, Narrative Therapy, Non-Violent Communication
