who i am & what i believe

It is my firm belief that healers and helping professionals are whole humans doing work that is inherently political. Therefore, as a practitioner, it’s important to me to share transparently about my identities & values with prospective clients and collaborators!

I am a white, fat, queer, cisgender woman born & raised in the American Midwest. I live with chronic anxiety and am a survivor of sexual assault and intimate partner violence.

My work is heavily trauma-informed, and I practice from an abolitionist, anti-racist, and liberationist perspective. I believe that all healing work is political - if we hope to achieve collective healing and liberation, we must work to understand and dismantle the violent systems of oppression that inflict ongoing and complex trauma on those with marginalized identities.

My work is informed by the belief that we are all multi-dimensional beings, capable of holding many truths at once - even truths that sometimes conflict and create tension. My work is to support clients in connecting with their own voice and feeling grounded in themselves, moving through the world in ways that feel most aligned with their personal values and supportive of their identities.

I live in Brooklyn, New York with my wife and our three kids. I am a fan of tattoos, DIY hair dye, astrology, iced coffee (with extra ice!), flowers, and poetry.
