my work is rooted in a liberatory, consent centered, and anti pathologizing framework that honors pleasure, autonomy, and embodied choice. i approach therapy with the belief that many forms of distress make sense when we consider trauma, oppression, capitalism, and the demand to constantly perform strength, resilience, or productivity. i prioritize somatic, spiritual, and integrative approaches alongside creative and expressive arts therapy, inner child and inner elder work, and nervous system informed care. this means therapy does not have to rely only on talking or intellectualizing experiences. together, we slow down, listen to the body, and explore what healing and safety feel like in real time. i am kink aware, sex positive, and affirming of consensual non monogamy, polyamory, bdsm, power exchange dynamics, and diverse relationship structures. i support clients in unpacking shame, secrecy, internalized stigma, and fear without judgment or assumptions. my approach centers consent, boundaries, agency, and curiosity, both inside and outside the therapy space. humor, warmth, and honesty are part of my work when appropriate. i aim to create a space where clients do not have to perform insight, resilience, or emotional fluency to be worthy of care.
