WORK WITH ME
  • A pomegranate with the front torn and seeds spilling out.

    Interdependence & access intimacy are foundational to my life & practice. We depend on each other. We each have varying capacities & relational processes are often slow. May our work together be done at a pace that nurtures authentic connection, encourages rest & builds trust.

  • Peer* Support

    I offer skilled, compassionate peer support to any of my peers (see below) who need it. This can range from polyamory, to job fulfillment & community roles, to attachment & relational wounds. I found this work through supporting survivors of abuse and sexual violence. Though I am not a trauma counsellor, I feel grateful and confident to be able to hold that space when it is needed while assuring that my clients have access to community resources. I am SWer friendly & experienced.

  • Self-Connection

    The survival skills we’ve honed to keep us safe in early life or after trauma can tend to keep us disconnected from ourselves & each other. In self-connection sessions we collaborate to build safety in your inner world to hone your authenticity & unlock your desires. In a system that seeks to disconnect us, pleasure is a radical act. I love helping people discover & grow their kinks & gender identity.

  • Conflict Resolution

    So often in community, be it in interpersonal relationships or organizing, the ways we respond to conflict only furthers harm, divides & exhaust us. It is my deep belief that learning to have generative conflict, find avenues towards repair and/or release as it honours each person’s novelty and authenticity is integral to sustainable direct action and the capacity of our communities to topple the systems of harm we live under. I work with individuals and orgs to help address conflict in progress and to create policies for when it inevitably comes up.

*My peers include: queer, disabled, trans, genderfluid, neurodivergent, harm reduction minded, recovering alcoholics & addicts, survivors, femmes, anarchists, sex workers, fat, kinky, polyamorous people and white settlers who are working on their connection to land & lineage, unlearning racism & addressing the ways we benefit from white supremacy. I work with people who are still-COVIDing in this time of increasing ableism that continues to cause so much grief, isolation, distress & harm.

I prioritize working with my peers since proximity to our identities matters & it can be so difficult to find someone to work with who understands these intersections with ease. I ask that you share at least one of these identities to work with me one on one or otherwise are specifically coming to me to address positional power, disability justice and/or social justice issues. I trust you to make that assessment. Thank you for understanding.
