i’m a sober queer and trans/non-binary (they/them) trauma-informed clinical social worker. i have a masters degree in gender studies in addition to my master of social work from smith college. i consider myself a radical feminist, queer elder, and deep weirdo. i'm a displaced southerner but love living in western massachusetts with my orange cat and crew of feral kids. i have judith butler and james taylor tattoos, and i like to think about the ways that popular culture ranging from queer theory to "NPR dad music" might inform the ways we make sense of our experiences out in the world. i am always excited to discuss relationship dynamics for poly/enm folx, i'm kink and BDSM knowledgeable and about half way through a social justice-oriented radical sex therapist training. i love working with folx living with HIV, and i'm happy to work with folx in early recovery. i’m fat and excited to explore body positivity and/or neutrality, and i believe in HAES. (health at every size). i'm white and i'd love to process with other white folx around our tendencies to default to white guilt and complacency rather than antiracist actions. i’m open about being a mental health consumer AND provider and love acting as a therapist to other therapists, too. right now i’m particularly into processing ambiguous loss around the pandemic (what were you going to do with these years?). addiction (again, who and what did you lose in the process of turning your brain off with substances), infertility and pregnancy loss, chronic illness-- these are all either areas where i have professional or lived experience, or both!
