Liberation-oriented therapy
for queer, trans, and neurodivergent folks
FIND YOUR OWN WAY:
queer-affirming therapy in Oakland, CA
You're exhausted from putting everyone else first — drained, resentful, wishing shit wasn't so hard. Life under late-stage capitalism is brutal. Living in a genocidal, white supremacist culture while trying to dream of something different takes a toll that's real and deep.
You've seen the TikToks about boundaries and self-love and breaking intergenerational trauma cycles. You want that. You want to just feel good in yourself.
Here's the truth: you deserve to be happy, feel fulfilled, and feel free — even in this hellscape.
I'm ryn (they/them), a queer LMFT based in Oakland, CA. I use IFS-informed, liberation-oriented therapy to help you meet the parts of yourself that are ready to heal and can help you do the healing. I offer in-person sessions in Oakland and telehealth throughout California.

I am excited about us getting to feel more whole.
We're not helping ourselves, or the earth, or the people we're in community with if we're shutting down and disowning parts of ourselves. We learn quite early to value some and shut down other aspects of ourselves, and the oppressive, dominating, greed-driven forces of our world traumatize us so that we can no longer access or recognize vital parts of ourselves. And its messed up that it's even our job to take care of ourselves in the first place - that we have to heal from things that aren't even our fault. But we do - or at least, we can. It is possible.
I offer queer therapy for queer humans in Oakland, CA.
