I am passionate about helping people live the lives they want to live and specialize in gender affirming therapy for people across the lifespan. My practice is rooted in anti-racist and anti-oppression frameworks and I have extensive experience supporting people who have survived trauma. I draw from multiple treatment modalities (especially EMDR, DBT, mindfulness) based on the needs of the people I work with to support and nurture the work we are setting out to do as a team.
Each of us is a unique constellation of experiences, values, identities and needs: my work aims to embrace and empower that. To thrive we need all parts of ourselves to be affirmed and nurtured. Each individual is the expert in themself; people’s insight into their identities and values guides our work together.
We have each fought to gain wisdom about ourselves and skills to care for ourselves; I hope to empower people to apply that wisdom and grow those skills so they can live the life they want to live. I believe healing work holds space for both the very real pain and suffering you face and celebrates the joy of living into yourself and embracing your identities. There is nothing more powerful and joyful than learning about yourself and acting on behalf of that knowledge.
