How you feel towards yourself can profoundly impact your relationships, work, school, and more. And a lot can make it hard to feel your best. You might be: Exhausted by a relentless self-critical voice...Considering your next steps to feel authentically aligned with your gender and sexuality...Struggling with boundaries and people-pleasing... Stressed and stuck in your closest relationships...Curious about non-monogamy but unsure where to start...Looking for nonjudgmental guidance navigating dynamics within polyamory and kink — not to mention managing all of this under capitalism. No wonder you'd like support!
I bring my lens as a queer, non-binary, poly, kinky, neurodivergent, radical, white, Jewish person. My style: A balance of light-hearted humor + direct challenge • Interactive, intuitive, & insightful • Resourced by practical skills, tools, & materials to learn from • Trauma-informed & grounded • Rooted in Internal Family Systems & somatics • Tailored to you
I act as a friendly, relational guide and sounding board, with expertise in attachment, neuroscience, and somatics to help you recognize and translate signals from your body into an understanding of what you need to heal. Sound like we could be a good fit? Have questions for me? Know someone else who might like working with me? I'd love to hear from you.
