My Approach to Helping
My warm, transparent, and collaborative style centers around you as the expert and agent of healing in your life–with me here to support you along the way. None of us exist in a vacuum. Understanding the contexts within which you live, I will ask questions, share resources and information, and teach strategies for addressing the challenges you face. Together we will create space for you to feel your feelings in a supportive environment.
More Info About My Practice
The social justice lens of social work was one of the key features that drew me to this profession. As a white queer person, I work hard to be a member of the queer community that fights against the oppression of queer people of color, particularly Black and brown trans individuals who face the highest rates of violent discrimination. As a neurodivergent person, I work to create more awareness and acceptance of neurodivergence in all its forms. I am committed to providing care that actively works to counter white supremacy, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, ableism, and xenophobia. I am sex- and sex-work-positive, as well as kink-positive. I am critical of the way that capitalism and individualism have shaped American culture, and I am committed to engaging in community care. I believe in the central tenet of co-liberation, that our freedom as individuals and communities is inherently tied with the freedom of all other people.
