About My Clients
I love working with people who are: Grappling with big questions about their place in the world | Cycle-breakers | Healers | Plant nerds | Animal lovers | Curious creatures | Non-linear storytellers. Those qualities might be your daily life, or they might feel more like someone you used to be or had hoped to become. Together, we can help you create portals to your vitality. In addition, I absolutely treasure getting to work with fellow queer & trans neurodivergent folks.
My Approach to Helping
I draw from: Somatics | Parts work | Decolonization movements | The Disability Justice movement | Emerging research and experience from neurodivergent adults | 15+ years of being a trauma nerd| DBT | ACT | CBT. It can be painful to be a person in the world today. There are many reasons to dissociate or disengage, and yet, at the same time, quiet as can be, there is a voice saying, don’t give up. We’re here. I do not have the answers to our world. We can easily make ourselves miserable trying to find them through cognitive means alone. But wisdom does exist, and your body is the portal to it. Therapy can be the space where you allow yourself to reconnect with what you once needed to forget in order to survive. In our work together, we will explore what conditions your body needs to be able to know its grief, hope, rage, love, fear, audacity. We will experiment with creating those conditions, in session and in other parts of your life.
My Values as a Therapist
Some Hot Therapy Takes in no particular order: || "Negative" emotions, thoughts, and behaviors usually carry important wisdom. || Sometimes intellectualizing an emotion is the only way a person can safely engage with it, and that's okay. || Stims are somatic practices your body knows without being taught. || If you want a good grade in therapy and are teasing yourself about how that is neither normal to want nor possible to achieve, that is a great thing to tell your therapist! Not because it's wrong, but because there's a lot to unpack 😎. || This site not allowing line breaks is ableist. || Living in a capitalist, colonized and colonizing system is traumatizing for all, and the trauma lands very differently depending on access to power. || Everyone deserves pleasure and ease. This includes you. || None of us can build our dreams alone. || There are few experiences I cherish more than witnessing you stepping into your power.
