About My Clients
I work with individuals to re-build trust in themselves, to hear their own voice, and connect with their desires to live an empowered life. Are you in or coming out of a relationship with a narcissist? Were you taught to mistrust your intuition? Do you wrestle with who you are or what you want? You must be so burned out! Therapy can provide you the space and insight you need to stop the cycle and move through the world with confidence and joy. I look forward to accompanying you in that process.
My Background and Approach
I specialize in helping people from all backgrounds recover from high-control environments including narcissistic abuse, codependency, religious abuse, and living in the world in a marginalized body/brain. My approach to therapy is two-pronged. First, I work to equip you with practical knowledge, tools, and skills to cope effectively with life. Second, I work to connect you to your rich inner world, made up of many parts. Our parts are often in conflict with one another, and I help guide your wise Self to be the trusted leader of all your parts. Put more simply, therapy works to replace old scripts with new ones that work better for you. My background in interpersonal communication informs the way I teach communication and boundary setting and my neurodivergent mind informs the way I teach skills for addressing burnout. I love to laugh and find the humor in it all along the way. Oh, and I have a masters degree in counseling and human services and am a nationally certified counselor.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that mental health “conditions” are impermanent and that every person is capable of feeling proud of who they are and how they show up in the world. It is one of my greatest honors to witness people heal themselves. I practice cultural humility, curiosity, and antiracism. I work to uphold the dignity and safety of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am sex-positive and kink friendly. I believe that humans can find Health at Every Size. I believe that being an ally is not a label I can give myself, but one that grows from offering a safe and trusting space as determined by the individual seeking care. I am politically progressive and actively healing from my own experiences as a neurodivergent womxn raised in Evangelical Fundamentalism. I love playing board games, watching the Great British Baking Show, reading novels, and going for walks with my partner, our young child, and our black lab, Kate the dog.
