Welcome to Frankie’s Office
You’re looking for a missing piece.
It feels like there’s something in your life that just doesn’t fit, or that you’ve been missing. Maybe it’s a sense that you don’t belong where you are, or that the expectations you grew up with just don’t match what you want out of life. These questions are scary to face; they can feel like peering over the edge of a cliff. You may feel like things will fall apart around you if you make the changes you want, or that they have already started to crumble. Wherever you are on your journey, you’re here because you don’t want to face these challenges alone, and you don’t have to. You deserve accompaniment and community as you grow and transform.
You want your relationships to grow to fit the life you dream of.
You love your partner or partners, and you all have gotten stuck in some way. Maybe you’re fighting more than you want to, or the world has thrown too much at you recently and your relationship has become stressed. Maybe there’s something new on the horizon, and you want to build the skills to face it together. It can feel incredibly vulnerable and nerve-wracking to invite someone into these intimate challenges. Relationships (romantic and otherwise) are often our greatest source of strength and meaning in life, and I believe they are worth fighting for even when things get tough. It’s brave and wise to seek help, and you’ve already taken an important step by coming to this page to explore what that could look like.
I will walk with you as you face the challenges of life and change.
We’ll go at your pace. If you’re ready to run, I’ll run with you (while pausing to make sure we’re still hydrated and headed in the right direction). If you’re still standing at the trailhead deciding which way to go, we can interpret the map together. Sometimes you just need someone to really, deeply listen to you and help you to trust your inner wisdom and intuition. Sometimes you need new tools, or someone to offer insight and honest feedback to help you make sense of patterns that are so familiar they’ve begun to feel like part of the air you breathe. I will hold a space for you that is free from judgment, where you can begin to see yourself more clearly and compassionately. And when you share your deepest desires and dreams, I will become an advocate for the life you dream of living.
Systemic injustice impacts us on a personal level.
I believe that systemic injustices—homophobia, transphobia, racism, sexism, classism, ableism, and beyond—impact us all. If you want it, I will hold space for you to process the ways these systems have impacted you and connect to the struggles you bring to therapy. I will trust you as the expert on your own experience and will be mindful and always open to feedback on how my own identities and background may impact our therapeutic relationship.

Meet Frankie Jones
I grew up in Louisville, where I was fortunate to be surrounded by family and chosen community strong enough to call me back after moving away for college and much of my early 20s. For me, becoming a therapist was a career change in my early 30s. I spent about a decade working as a community organizer at social justice-oriented organizations, and decided to return to school after I felt called to reexamine my priorities due to persistent burn out. My favorite thing about my work has always been getting to know people deeply and supporting others to find and use their voice and when I took a step back, becoming a therapist felt like the most natural thing in the world.
I see systems—family systems, cultural systems—as an important part of how people develop and become who they are. I want to use my training as a systemic therapist to support you to create the family culture or relationship culture that you desire, or to support you as an individual to find your own agency within the systems that surround you.
My LGBTQ community has been a very important part of my adult life, particularly after coming out as transgender in my mid-20s. I spend my time loving on my community, caring for my chosen family, tending to my garden, and always seeking new ways to grow and expand my understanding of the world.
