My style is informed by queer theory and deconstructing the presence of shame in living outside of society’s binaries, norms, and socially constructed roles. I value social constructionist theory as well, and integrate this by exploring social location and the connections between societal oppression and mental health in therapy. I have experience working with people who are exploring their gender identity or are in the process of medical and/or social transitioning. I believe that psychodynamic theory and parts work make space for all of our past ages and selves to enter the room. A question I will hold with tenderness throughout our journey together is, “How does it feel to be you?” I will carefully and thoughtfully cater my therapeutic approach to who you are, and what you need.
