Therapy

Individual therapy is a space for you to foster sustainable, trusting relationships with all parts of yourself.

My work is rooted in liberatory harm reduction, disability justice, body liberation, and anti-oppressive care. I strive to practice from a non-pathologizing perspective, which means that you define your experiences for yourself, outside the pressures placed on us by historically oppressive mental health systems. I am here to offer new frameworks in which to view your life; compassionate, curious accountability; and a nonjudgmental witness to your pain, grief, joy, growth, relationships, identities, and journeys.

I believe the purpose of individual therapy in times of heightened political & ecological violence is not to minimize our reactions to the violence, but instead to discover the resources we need to stay connected to ourselves and others while surviving it.

I see therapy as one part of an ecosystem of care, and support clients in connecting more deeply with their communities. I am committed to the slow process of building trust in the therapeutic relationship, and center consent, collaboration, humility, and authenticity in our work.

Grief & deathcare


Grief & death are two of our most powerful teachers, inevitable to loving & living. But the complicated feelings they evoke are often misunderstood, feared, and silenced. I am honored to support clients through all life transitions in which grief or death are present.

Whether you are grieving, seeking support during end-of-life care for yourself or a loved one, or existentially preoccupied by death, this is a space where we can talk openly, frankly, and lovingly about death and grief. No euphemisms. No “sorry for your loss.” We’ll cry. We’ll almost certainly laugh. We’ll talk about memories and wishes. We’ll be authentic and face this moment together.

All grievers & types of grief—including pet loss, ambiguous loss, climate grief, and disenfranchised grief—are welcome here.

I am actively pursuing radical grief & community deathcare education. I have completed education and workshops through Going With Grace and La Mort Collective, including a certificate course in Queer Grief. I am passionate about providing deathcare that is decolonial, honest, connective, and curious.
