As an attachment therapist, we might spend some time talking about the relationships that you had with your caretakers, your family, your friends, and others throughout your growing up years and your present days. Attachment therapy considers the models or templates for relationships that we have been shown throughout our lives and is often a helpful place to start when you want to understand your current relationships.  

As a Queer therapist, I hold space to question narratives that many have been given about the world. I am informed by queer theory and utilize this to deconstruct stories of gender, sexuality, identity, power relations, relationship structures, and social norms.

As a neurodivergent therapist, I consider the ways that many humans are expected to socialize and exist in their bodies and minds. It is imperative to me that my clients know that in our work together their neurodivergent ways of communicating are welcome- whether that is stimming, non-verbal communication, tone tags, directness, or others! 

Many neurodivergent people experience the emotional exhaustion and burden of neurotypical forms of communication or trying to navigate social expectations that were never directly communicated to them. In our work together, your questions and directness are welcome, and I hold space to explicitly talk about the ways that we communicate together.

As a somatic therapist, I believe that healing comes from a body and mind that are connected, integrating the many parts of who we are so that we can move from space to space as our full selves. Understanding who we are allows us to better connect with others through healthy relationships. 

If you are feeling fragmented or distanced from yourself and others, if you would like to process and tend to your pain, or if you are not sure exactly what you need but something feels off, know that you don’t have to walk through this alone.
