Clients I Work With

I work with individual adults and teens (ages 15+) who are looking for a soft, welcoming place to process and heal. Folx who choose me as a therapist are tired of feeling simultaneously “not enough” and “too much,” and want to start living a life that aligns with their values-- starting with a therapy space that honors them as they are. My therapy space is open to people of all marginalized identities, and is home especially for LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, Disabled, and racialized BBIA folx whose identities are most linked to systemic violence and neglect. Clients I work with typically experience complex and single-incident trauma, self-esteem, and big existential questions around identity and purpose. I largely serve folx whose trauma manifests other challenges, like depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction, or substance use.

Approach

As a multiply-neurodivergent therapist, I believe therapy should be a safe place to unmask and I practice this in sessions by using fidgets, not forcing eye contact for myself and others, and showing up comfortably dressed (because I focus best when I'm physically comfy, and I bet you do too). I'm down-to-earth and usually pop into sessions sipping an iced coffee from my fave local place or a Monster energy drink and wearing jeans and a t-shirt or hoodie. My therapy style is warm, validating, collaborative, and relational, and I pull from an eclectic blend of therapy modalities and time-honored, culturally-rooted practices including but not limited to existential, somatic, mindfulness, parts work, and EMDR therapies to process difficult feelings and honor your inherent resilience.

Beliefs & Lived Experience

I am a queer, transgender, nonbinary, white person with numerous lived, personal experience as being disabled, AuDHD, cPTSD, OCD, BED, and chronic suicidality. My lived experiences mean that while our stories are different, I empathize and have been in challenging mental health spaces myself; this affords me the solidarity and empathy to connect on a level with clients that other providers may not be able. Therapy is political, and my beliefs impact the work I do with clients. The following beliefs guide my practice: - Racialized, Indigenous, Black, and Brown lives matter. - Gender-affirming care for all ages is a human right. - Sex work is work. - Nobody is illegal on stolen land. - ACAB also applies to carceral mental health providers. - Free Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and Ukraine. - Autism registries are a human rights violation. - Disability is not a dirty word.

More About My Practice

I offer 8-week EMDR intensives encompassing 4 hours of 1:1 EMDR therapy weekly for folx 15+ who are looking for relief from historic and single-incident trauma and/or PTSD. I offer virtual 1:1 and monthly drop-in peer-consultation virtual groups to provisionally-licensed therapists, seasoned therapists, and graduate students looking for support or case consultation. I also offer consultation to small businesses looking to integrate or improve DEI initiatives in their practice and/or policy. For provisionally-licensed therapists in CT or MA, I offer virtual clinical supervision to fulfill licensure requirements. I facilitate a virtual peer-support group for LGBTQIA2S+ mental health professionals. This starts July 1st and is held via Google Meets on every other Wednesday from 7pm to 8pm EST. Reach out to me if you are interested in joining!
