Therapy for Leftists and Organizers in New York

If you are thinking or feeling any of the following ways, working with me might be right for you:

  • Feeling anxious about the state of the world
  • Having moments of wondering what the point of doing this work is
  • Feeling angry at the material and political forces getting in the way of the work
  • Feeling frustrated or exhausted from butting heads with comrades
  • Feeling like you’re either too immersed in the work or aren’t feeling invested enough

You may have always felt called to organizing, but never had a space to tend to what it’s doing to you. Maybe you’ve been running on adrenaline and conviction, wondering when the burnout will catch up. Or perhaps you’ve had moments where you ask yourself, what’s the point of all this work? Not because you don’t believe in it, but because the weight of it has started to outpace the meaning.

You might be feeling the anxiety of living under political forces that feel relentless, or carrying anger at the material conditions and systems that keep getting in the way of the world you’re trying to build. Maybe you’re exhausted from butting heads with comrades, navigating the fractures and friction that come with doing this work alongside others. Or you’re caught in that strange in-between, feeling either so immersed in organizing that you’ve lost yourself in it, or so disconnected that you’re questioning whether you’re invested enough at all.

Together, we’ll navigate what it means to be a person in the movement. With over six years of organizing experience myself—across mutual aid, labor, and student union spaces—I understand the unique toll this work takes. We’ll build space to hold your anger, your grief, your questions, and your hope without rushing to “fix” them. We’ll create strategies for sustainability, tend to the relational exhaustion that comes with collective work, and unpack what it means to stay in the fight without losing yourself to it.

As a queer, non-binary clinician of color, I specialize in working with organizers and leftists who are tired of being told to simply “practice self-care” while the world is on fire. Here, you won’t have to explain the urgency, the rage, or the exhaustion. We’ll find solutions that honor your politics and your humanity, not ones that ask you to disengage in order to heal. Reach out today and let’s turn burnout into sustainable, grounded practice.
