About My Clients

I specialize with the LGBTQ+ population. I often work with folx who experience ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or attachment wounds. I also regularly work with autistic people. Ages: 16+. Also, please note, I have worked with people who have a variety of diagnoses that are not listed. If you are wondering if we'll be a good match, please feel free to reach out and ask if you have specific questions.

My Background and Approach

Between 2012-2019, I studied at Sundust Oracle Institute (SOI) in Seattle, WA. During my time there, I did a deep dive into my own healing while I was simultaneously trained to help facilitate holistic modalities of healing for others. I took multiple courses including Mentorship and Leadership: Right Use of Power. Between 2014-2019, I was a TA for several courses at SOI, including Spiritual Identity, Applied Spirituality, and Healing Circle. I graduated in 2023 from Northern Illinois University (NIU) with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy. Through my formal education at NIU, I was able to synthesize many evidence-based approaches with spiritual principles. My utmost goal is to connect you to your own sense of power and agency and to truly listen to what you are wanting to create for your future. Through empathy, emotional-attunement, curiosity, and accountability, I believe there is a path towards wholeness, healing, growth, and change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that all life is connected (yay, quantum physics) and that we all have an ability to hone our intuitive nature and gather personal and collective wisdom from it. I believe that our creative nature connects us to our well-being, and we often find a sense of purpose and/or enjoyment when we tap into our creative energy. I also believe that curiosity and emotional regulation are essential elements of a healthy life. Interests: - Dream Analysis - Tarot - Astrology - Nature - Animals - Queer Life - D&D - Fantasy - Arts & Creativity
