Rooted in a DIY, harm reduction, community care ethos, I believe everyone is the expert on their own experiences. Whatever you’re going through, you don’t have to do it alone. My identities—trans, abolitionist, neurodivergent, disabled, chronically ill, anti-zionist, and queer—deeply inform my approach to healing and therapy. I operate from an anti-racist, anti-carceral, anti-capitalist, disability justice informed framework. I am kink and body positive, support sex workers, practice non-monogamy, and oppose all forms of prisons, policing, and borders. I think struggling in an unwell society is a sign of humanity, not illness.
I’ve worked in the mental health field for over a decade with a background in crisis care, suicidality, nature based healing, herbalism, and various other modalities. I hold certifications in peer support, harm reduction, and trauma-informed somatic work. I look forward to working with queer and trans individuals, and welcome cishet allies as well.
As a white therapist, I am dedicated to educating myself about the intersections of race, islamophobia, gender, ability, and systemic oppression so my clients aren’t burdened with teaching me about their lived reality. My goal is to create a trusting, hopeful, and honest space. I don’t believe in pathologizing or criminalization of people’s identities or modes of survival.
I am out of network, but can provide a superbill and help clients with reimbursement. My sliding scale has 3 tiers, $50-$150, $150-$250, and $250-$350 per session. My low tier is full at this time, and I have openings in the middle and high tier.
I am an MHC working towards licensure. I’ve worked in this field for over a decade, am a certified peer support specialist, certified harm reduction specialist, certified herbalist, certified trauma informed politicized somatics practitioner, and have a background in crisis intervention.
My path in this field was born of my own lived experiences, mutual aid, and radical mental health movement work. From that lineage I champion “nothing about us without us.” I don’t believe that my lived reality or years supporting others makes me an expert on what you are experiencing. I reject the idea of expertise, and instead embrace curiosity.
Max is an incredible therapist. I have had so many awful experiences with therapists who act like cops and are more concerned with following rules than actually supporting clients. I know Max has my back. They have actual lived experience and don’t make me feel crazy. I can trust them with anything, and they also call me on my bs. Gently, and kindly, but they’re not just gonna sit and nod at you.
