There’s no liberation without actually leaning forward and looking at the things that we habitually run away from, in order to see things as they really are.
— Lama Rod Owens

About individual therapy (with me):

Psychotherapy, especially at depth, is a creative practice. It’s the iterative, experiential, unfolding process of paying attention and really being with you: your body, your stories, your experience.

Sometimes by talking, sometimes in silence, sometimes with art, sometimes with somatics, sometimes in creative hybrids of all these things that we concoct together based on my training and your needs.

We do this in the service of you becoming as free and powerful and alive as you can be.

Many of the people I work with are dealing with the impacts of difficult childhoods, different kinds of traumas, with experiences of marginalization or identity-related oppression and its fallouts. Sometimes you know exactly what you want to work on, sometimes there have been futile attempts with other kinds of therapy, sometimes there’s just a sense that something isn’t right and you want a better understanding of yourself and your life.

Therapy with me is not light work, and it takes time, but I can basically guarantee some laughter with the tears. Nobody is funnier than people who've been through some shit.

Rhythm: Once per week. At certain points in therapy, or dependent on your needs, meeting 2x/3x per week can be helpful.

Fee: $90 - $160 / 50 min session

About relationship therapy (with me):

Relationship therapy can be beneficial for many types of relational configuration from romantic partnerships to friendships to familial relationships.

Most of the people I work with in relationship therapy share a lot of love and commitment but feel stuck in cycles of conflict and confusion. I often work with people who are in relationships across significant difference domains such as interracial or intercultural couples, relationships with mixed neurotypes or sexual orientations, and the like. I’m well versed in supporting people whose complex trauma histories impact their relationships, and especially welcome queer and trans people seeking therapy from someone who shares those identities. Kink+, nonmonogamy+, sex work+.

Rhythm: Once per week to begin.

Fee: $170 / 50 min session.

I reserve openings in my schedule at a reduced rate for those who experience discrimination in hiring and pay level, people who are descended from enslaved peoples and Indigenous peoples, and some other situations on a case by case basis. Don’t hesitate to ask about a reduced rate with me during a consultation.

How to Inquire:

I offer an initial, free consultation hour to open up what brings you to therapy and for me to share how I work. Get in touch here.
