How do I know if this is the right fit for me?

Whether you are familiar with mental health care or not, seeking support can be vulnerable, scary, and outright taboo. I congratulate you on taking this step to discover what resources are available to you. Your liberation is my liberation is our liberation.

Signs this therapy practice may be for you…

What you’ve been trying isn’t working

You are seeking to re-define patterns in a relationship (of any kind).
You practice non-monogamy and are seeking support in relationships.
You are desiring more intimacy and connection in your relationship.

Values in practice…

A frame to therapy centering collaboration, sovereignty, and consent.
Intentional connection to the multitude of you – body, mind, spirit, heart.
Healing of trauma through restoring relationships.
Trauma-informed, harm-reduction, somatics-based.
Internal Family Systems & Relational Somatics for attachment-system healing.
Non-violent communication and emotionally focused therapy for relationship systems.

‘Queer’ not as being about who you’re having sex with (that can be a dimension of it); but ‘queer’ as being about the self that is at odds with everything around it and that has to invent and create and find a place to speak and to thrive and to live.
