About My Clients
I work with professionals who are navigating institutions that place extreme demands on their time, labor and energy; parents and children navigating boundaries and seeking meaningful connection in family relationships, and advocates who are balancing work and life demands, and who don’t want politics to be checked at the door.
My Background and Approach
In therapy, I will invite us to be curious about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I enjoy working with people who experience anxiety. Anxiety is both information and a form of communication. I work with clients to decipher anxiety's messages. By understanding your anxiety and coming into a relationship with its role in your life, both the anxious symptoms and the underlying conflicts can find relief.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I’ve worked as a full-time community organizer in both disability rights and racial justice. I’m familiar with the demands placed on activists, both external and internal. I am also a historian and am trained to think critically and systematically about cultural inheritance and intergenerational trauma. The personal is political. I believe therapy is a space to embolden and nourish our political commitments, not to subdue political anger. Being in an ongoing relationship with our internal world can be a powerful sustaining force for being in community with others. Our sessions will also be a place to identify, talk abut and work through ableism and white supremacist thinking and its manifestations in how you experience yourself and your relationships.
