As a Queer, Fat, Neurodivergent, anti-capitalist, and abolitionist, my understanding & empathy is informed by my lived experience. I believe in the healing power of two imperfect humans building a bond while navigating this late-stage capitalist hellscape. I strive to decolonize my practice, to move away from individualized forms of healing and embrace a more inclusive, and community-centered approach. If you feel like you’re an outsider, trying to create new generational patterns while simultaneously fighting for a new world: I’m here to help. You are worthy, and you deserve to find your people and create the life you envision.
The world tries to squeeze us into predefined boxes. I spent my formative years trying to squeeze myself into those boxes and was continuously frustrated and confused by it all. I have engaged in the therapeutic process numerous times throughout my life. For me, therapy has been a tool for exploring the way I exist with and in the world; a way to practice being vulnerable and embodied; a way to create space for myself in my life. Even through my most recent whirlwind of transitions, I continue to return therapy to continue on my path of self-discovery.
My winding path toward healing has included EMDR, parts-work, somatic work: all framed by intersectional feminist & relational cultural therapy, and all have heavily influenced my work as a professional. I believe and work from a harm reduction lens, integrate tangible skills & creative expressive outlets.
Beyond the therapy room, you’ll find me embracing my weird, witchy-ways. I love shaking my bones to live music, attending Phish shows with my partners and expressing myself through art. Whether I’m throwing clay on the wheel or collaging, the creative process brings me joy and serves as a source of inspiration. I also prioritize radical self-care and fat liberation embracing the beauty of being unapologetically embodied in public. You might even spot me basking like a lizard in the sun next to the river.
