Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
Queer relationships are as exciting as they are terrifying. No predetermined rules, roles, or rituals means we get to write the book. But what happens when we're confronted with endless possibility, little role modeling, & extremely high stakes? Writer's block. If you're in a queer partnership (this includes you queer folx in cit-het passing relationships) & you're looking to cultivate deeper intimacy with your partner(s), transform those pesky childhood strategies you've been using when things go sideways, determine if "monogamish" is a viable option, & let each other in as you heal from relational trauma, I've got you. I'm not like other therapists, I'm a cool therapist. (Mean Girls, anyone?) You can expect an unconventional approach from me. I will offer a look behind the curtain, encourage exploration of not only the content you're bringing, but the context of when & how you're bringing it. I will warmly hold you accountable to change b/c your relationship matters to me. You won't catch me furtively hiding behind a clipboard or fueling therapy tropes. No, I want to meet you on your level. As a queer person myself, I understand the unique challenges and triumphs we encounter as we learn to love and be loved in ways that exemplify our inherent right to true connection, vitality, & fulfillment. Don't hesitate to reach out.
