I am a genderqueer marriage and family therapist who offers poly-friendly and poly-informed counseling across all genders, races, and orientations. I am LGBTQ and kink positive.
My counseling focuses on empowered communication, secure attachment, and resilience. I help clients face challenges around jealousy, and develop compersion and metamour relationships. I work with primary couples in developing secure attachment so that they can open up their relationship in a healthy and supportive manner. I have trained deeply in Nonviolent Communication and help clients to communicate more effectively and efficiently, mediate conflicts, and heal wounding in relationships that need repair. I assist people in finding resources such as poly-affirming literature to empower their journey.
I am also trained in EMDR and work to relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression caused by trauma and historical trauma including breakups/transitions, issues around family of origin, and cultural oppression. I have worked at Crisis Support Services of Oakland and trained in trauma therapy at Native American Health Center. I have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and from this medical background work holistically with clients, looking at physical health along with emotional and relational health. I enjoy incorporating spirituality into sessions, including non-ordinary states of consciousness, meditation, and earth-based spirituality.
I see adults of all ages. Call me at 503-567-9842 or email me at [email protected] for a free 15-minute phone consultation.
