Well it(self care) means that we’re able to bring our entire selves into the movement. It means that we incorporate into our work as activists, ways of acknowledging and hopefully also moving beyond trauma.

ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I have shifted to mostly doing Internal Family Systems, and borrowing from Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy tools/techniques. I am trained in Internal Family Systems(level 1), and I am using it dominantly, because of how it tries to understand and have compassion for all of our parts. I want to meet you where you are. I would like to help you employ your strengths to get what you want. I would like to help you find tools and knowledge of basic neurology to change thoughts, if you choose to. I like to work to give people therapy in a way that feels right but also pushes you to lean into some discomfort. As a proud bisexual, trans man, I love to work with my LGBTQIA communities. I celebrate kinky and poly people. I strive to be an imperfect ally to non-binary trans people and people of color.
