Therapy for Activists

Emotional support so that you can continue your important work.

Activists often carry the weight of complex challenges—burnout, navigating limited resources, and tension within progressive spaces, to name a few. Together, we’ll explore how to sustain your work without losing sight of your well-being.

I’m here to listen, understand, and help you navigate these unique struggles, while supporting you in finding balance and resilience in both your activism and personal life.

Imagine feeling empowered enough to…

  • Practice sustainable activism

  • Challenge internalized oppression

  • Address the impact of state violence

  • Navigate conflict while maintaining your values

  • Develop coping skills to navigate burnout, disappointment, and the emotional toll of activism

You don’t have to burn out to make a difference. Therapy can help you stay grounded, reconnect with your purpose, and find joy in your activism. You deserve support, just as much as the communities you fight for—and I’m here to help you sustain both your work and your well-being.

How Therapy for Activists Works

Therapy sessions for activists and people engaged in political work consists of 45-minute, one-on-one sessions. At this time, I am working remotely via telehealth. In addition to listening and empathizing I will guide you towards skills that actually help you to manage difficult thoughts and feelings. In so doing, I hope to support you to feel more connected with yourself, your community, and a sense of liberatory purpose.

What to expect in this process:

When you reach out, I’ll share my availability and offer a free 15-20 minute consultation. If we’re a good fit, we’ll meet for three sessions to assess if ongoing therapy makes sense, and I’ll ask you to complete an intake form to guide our work together.

We will work to build a trusting relationship where you feel accepted and supported to explore your struggles safely.

You will direct our work together and lead us in the direction you need to go while I listen and develop an understanding for your concerns.

I will support you to uncover the ways in which social and structural oppression may have become internalized. I do this in a grounded, non-judgmental way, led by grace, compassion, and curiosity.

I’ll help you navigate emotional roadblocks and stay connected to your passion for activism.

Therapy is a dynamic process, and we’ll adapt as needed to ensure you feel supported, empowered, and able to sustain your work for the long haul.
