New clients continue care with this provider
My name is Ro and I am a white queer non-binary Ashkenazi Jewish somatic therapist and artist. Consent, harm reduction, and the abolition of police and prisons are important to me, and I strive to practice in ways that are honest and aligned with my values. A sense of humor is also essential to me in healing work-- I believe in making room to go deep as well as to have fun in therapy. I have experience working with folks who experience depression, self-harm, relationship issues, break-ups, trauma, and anxiety. I love working with adults, teens, families, queers, and creatives. Right now, I am only seeing clients on Telehealth.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I believe in going wherever is emergent and letting trust and understanding develop organically. I don't do lengthy intake interviews--I just let our work unfold as it needs to.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I bring myself into the room, as a human being with feelings and experiences and opinions. I also strongly value autonomy and non-judgment. I love to be creative, and remake the mold of what therapy/healing can be with each person. Being both loving and direct is important to me. I also think I'm pretty funny.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with folks who bring a sense of creative collaboration and play into the work of healing trauma and past hurts.
