I am a multiply marginalized therapist that believes the human relationship comes before the clinical relationship and is the foundation for healing work. I strongly value autonomy, transparency, and consent in therapy, and see the therapeutic relationship as a consultation between two experts, where you are the expert on yourself and your experience. I strive to create a therapeutic environment that is decolonial, anti-racist, and anti-carceral. This includes placing accurate blame on the violent capitalist systems around us instead of turning that blame inward or toward loved ones, as well as destigmatizing and honoring the role of dissociation in our survival. How can the healing done through therapy mobilize us to undermine those systems and build a better world, instead of being just enough to get on with business as usual?
