About My Clients
My hope is to take the relationship we build and extend it to the rest of your life outside of the therapy room. I approach therapy with the assumption that clients aren’t trying to make their lives harder, but often that our attempts to manage distress may increase suffering. Through our work together, we will focus on identifying strengths and values that are guiding behavior, and then challenging and changing the unhelpful aspects and thought patterns that make reaching your goals difficult.
My Background and Approach
Sessions with me are collaborative and follow an eclectic approach. “Therapist-speak” aside, I want to collaborate on our treatment approach. I see the client as an expert on their life, so my goal is to combine my clinical expertise, with your lived experience expertise, and together, create an informed treatment approach. You will be involved in the process! My work is rooted in affirming the experiences of folks who are queer, transgender, people of color, non-monogamous/polyamorous, kinky, fat, and disabled. While much of therapy focused on the resilience and building of skills that align a client’s behavior with their values, I strive to facilitate open and honest conversations around the way that power, privilege, and oppression impact you. We cannot address your experiences without addressing the world that shapes them.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a white, neurodivergent, trans, Jewish, and queer therapist, I am committed to understanding and acknowledging the ways my identities show up in my work with you. All modalities are within the lense of Feminist Therapy, utilizing the Health At Every Size methods, and a commitment to the application of anti-oppression frameworks. My background beyond therapy is in community organizing, advocacy, and educational settings. I deeply enjoy spending time with those in my community, roller skating, engaging in any sort of media or game (movies, music, video/board games), and creativity including but not limited to photography, fashion, and creating a cozy home.
