About my approach

I primarily work with folks navigating legacies of complex and developmental trauma. This may show up as repeated conflict in relationships, conflict avoidance, difficulties identifying, setting, and/or maintaining boundaries, and various other patterned emotional and relational struggles.

I love supporting individuals navigating non-monogamy and/or other alternative relationship structures. This may include support around insecurity, jealousy, or other hard feelings, figuring out creative ways of making various relationship arrangements feel less sticky and more sustainable, unlearning mononormativity, supporting activation and emotional dysregulation, or connecting to our values as we navigate intensity and complexity.

Other areas of my practice include supporting folks navigating gender and transition, as well as those experiencing food, body, and self image struggles. My entry into psychotherapy was through offering group disordered eating supports, and a lot of my experience in this work has been working with those navigating food struggles using anti-diet, body liberationist, fat-positive, and harm reductionist approaches.

This is a difficult moment to be alive, particularly for those of us who hold various marginalized identities, and I deeply believe both somatic and relational work can support us in building the capacity we need to exist (and resist) in more connected, supported, and sustainable ways.
