Get To Know Me
In what ways do your life philosophy and treatment philosophy overlap?
I believe our social locations (socio-political identities) inform the way we see, interact, and/or respond to people and events in our lives. As a white cis queer middle-aged woman, I have been given access to see the world in a particular way. Whatever your combination of identities, I support you in creating a vision of your world that is meaningful and healing for you.
I aim to minimize shame and blame by looking at your struggles systemically, interpersonally, and intrapersonally, increasing your compassion for yourself and others. I provide equity-informed relationship therapy to significant others (married, unmarried, monogamous, polyamorous), families (nuclear, extended, chosen, with or without children), and individuals (asexual and allosexual). I help clients excavate the roles people play in their lives and the identities we take on consciously or not to better opt into your life.
