Meet Reed
I am a proud trans woman, full of joy and resilience.
I settle myself in books, music, and fantasy, resonating as both a nerdy pisces and a punk rock witch & Game Master of Dungeons & Dragons.
I was once asked what I would do if all of my problems in the world were solved and I responded, “I would probably read more books and try to support fictional characters.”
I am an educator and advocate in sexual violence prevention and participate in trauma work for supporting survivors of domestic violence.
I am passionate about harm reduction, queer and trans liberation, black lives matter, sexual liberation, and restorative & transformative justice practices.
My favorite practice is in the Hakomi style of therapy, where I carry my own appreciation for the magic of imagery and visualization in how to navigate the internal world.
I love to find creative ways to weave in practices of Sex Therapy, Geek Therapy, and Somatics.
My Practice
Therapy with me is built in comfort and curiosity. We will aways take time to settle into what is needed before we get into the deep parts of what brought you here.
My therapy is without judgement and is collaborative in your comfort; we will always be trauma-informed in the space we create together.
My clients say I'm easy to talk to because I make room for the magic in their lives, and leave space for the parts of ourselves that need tenderness and care.
I became a therapist because of my own healing journey as a queer and trans person. I hold identity at the core of who we are, and understand the challenging work that can often be scary to do alone.
We do not heal in isolation, and my goal as a therapist is to always support and uplift the growth of the people I work with.
I am a trans therapist and social justice advocate. What that means is I am committed to dismantling white supremacy and the systemic values it upholds.
I hold positionality and privilege as a white person, as well as walk among the rebellious queer identity that challenges patriarchy. The intersection of my identities is how I lead in unsettling the land and systems of my privilege.
My practice exists and benefits from being on unceded Ramaytush Ohlone land. I commit to working towards rematriation.
