About My Clients

I work with queer & trans, neurodivergent, and/or BIPOC folks who are seeking healing & working toward understanding and processing trauma. Perhaps you feel like your identities and ways of being have been threatened and traumatized by systems that cannot hold the breadth of our complexity. Perhaps you’ve been feeling stuck and burned out. Perhaps you've been with an adult or later-in-life diagnosis of autism or ADHD and don't know how to restructure moving forward.

My Background and Approach

I utilize an anti-oppressive and social justice-oriented lens in an abolitionist framework where we center curiosity and the spirit of uncovering who you are and how you breathe. I am a strengths-based, trauma-informed, and relational therapist who sees you as the expert in our work together. I use decolonized non-violent communication, somatics, and draw from theories and approaches that understand who we are in context to our environments past and present.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My work has been radically shaped by disability justice and liberatory social work and I believe fiercely in the wisdom that our bodies hold, both in the ancestral and now. I affirm Health At Every Size & believe in fat liberation and inclusivity in an ableist system that does not provide the right accommodations and support. I believe in abolition of the prison industrial complex. My abolitionist values include creativity, freedom, and joy as we dream together a future that values the mental, physical, and spiritual health of marginalized bodies. I believe in community and connection as the solution to violence, systemic & interpersonal. I believe that therapy is inherently political and see politicized healing as the vehicle through which we can work toward liberation.
