I’m a relational, attachment-focused therapist, which more or less means that I strongly believe that building a relationship where I earn your trust is the most important part of therapy. This trust also includes taking your perspective given your identities, experiences, and oppressive harm you have experienced. In this relationship we can practice boundary-setting and communication (including rupture and repair) so you can work to translate these skills into your everyday life.

I will be honest with you. You will not need to take care of or protect me and you will not need to manage my boundaries. I will both respect your boundaries and help nudge you when you need it. I work with individuals, couples, adult families (both chosen and biological), and people in all kinds of relational structures and dynamics. I’m anti-ICE, anti-racist, and a kink-positive KPACT member. My goal is to offer a space where you feel deeply seen and your intersecting identities are affirmed. This includes the stress, harm, and horror associated with our current global sociopolitical climate.

Therapy with me is collaborative and transparent. We’ll start by getting a fuller picture of your experiences, and together we’ll shape a plan that aligns with your values, needs, and goals. I bring my full self into this work—direct, curious, intentionally regulated, neurodivergent (do you have ADHD? I’ll be able to follow your non-linear narrative), and queer—because I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is the most powerful tool for growth and transformation in this time of isolation and fear.

We might be a particularly good fit if the following concerns/identities would be included in our work:

Trauma (including religious, medical, sexual, and attachment trauma and neglect), anxiety, grief, chronic illness/pain, relational/family/community conflict (including boundary setting, rupture, and repair), substance use concerns, queer/trans issues, sex and sexuality (including diverse relational structures), neurodivergence, cults and high-demand groups, self-acceptance and taking up more space, imposter syndrome, growing in the context of holding intersecting marginalized identities, and/or the weight of systemic oppression and existential dread.

You don’t have to go it alone. Let’s figure it out, together.
