About My Clients
Yay, diva, you found me! Let's face it - it's a scary time to be a human. So many of us have been taught to feel ashamed so that the patriarchy, capitalism, colonialism, racism, homophobia, transphobia, zionism, xenophobia, and billionaires could thrive. As a compassion focused therapist, I am quick to remind my clients of the things that were never our responsibility to hold. Even when times are hard, we deserve to create a life of whimsy, alignment, and immense joy! Let's go there, together.
My Background and Approach
My background is in nature-based therapy, which I explain as a way to lean on the earth and the world around us for healing and allyship. I also bring an anti-oppression and decolonization lens to the work of therapy, as this helps to ensure that I do my best to mitigate the harmful impacts of these systemic issues in the healing space. I will certainly make mistakes. I hope you do, too! These are opportunities for both of us to practice collective learning, unlearning, and healing. I believe that therapy is community. We may share certain identities and there will be those we do not share, yet it remains a community. I pull from a wide array of modalities to ensure that we are finding what will feel most supportive and sustainable for each individual client.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My practice is one that centers and celebrates authenticity, courageous exploration, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. In practice, this can look like taking the time to build trust and connection, pulling from a wide variety of modalities, and curiosity and silliness when needed (which I believe is often!) I have seen many therapists feel the need to rush into “fixing”; in my work, there is no rush and there is no “fixing”. Together, we will sit in the messy experience of being human; exploring and learning from our pain while uplifting and celebrating the joys. We will co-create your therapy experience, making it into whatever you need it to be in order to feel as safe as possible. I also bring an anti-oppression and decolonization lens to the work of therapy, as this helps to ensure that I do my best to mitigate the harmful impacts of these systemic issues in the healing space.
