About My Clients
Hi! **I AM CURRENTLY ON A WORKING SABBATICAL.** You are READY to do this work (even if you've never been to therapy). You have ideas about what needs to shift and want support with how to do it. We may explore relationships, significant events, shifting identities, losses, or stories that present challenges in your life. We harness kindness, compassion and humor. You show up with courage and vulnerability because you want to move through what is "stuck," confusing, or taking up too much energy.
My Background and Approach
Prior to entering this space, I evolved as a learning and development consultant, a micro-enterprise mentor, and a progressive advocate. I noticed how systems can cause burnout and stress, even when you're passionate about why you're showing up. Thus, I bring a lot of lived experience to both telehealth and natured-based therapy sessions. You have ideas about what you want and need, so you will drive your goals for therapy. I’ll flex with creativity, encouragement, compassion, a sense of humor, and gratitude that I get to journey with you. I’ll draw on multiculturally-sensitive, human-centered practices (such as narrative therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)) to present a variety of offerings that kindly challenge you to make the shifts you want to make, to increase the understandings you desire to gain, and to garner the outcomes you want. If you’re ready to work, we’ll work together well.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe in offering a loving space that honors all humans and all ways of being. I believe you are the expert on you, and nothing about you is a problem. The problem is the problem. And together, we can explore a new way to relate to it. I know that the journey of growth, healing, and transformation can feel difficult, heavy, or challenging at times. I've been there, and I'm still doing my own work so that I can better serve you. I also believe in advocacy and making space for all voices. I engage in learning spaces where we explore racial healing and liberation, acknowledge violence against women and LGTBQIA+ community members, and create space for men to challenge dominant narratives of masculinity. I believe that we each have an intuition that guides us to what we need. It may be life-giving to also draw upon spirituality, creativity, self-expression, and nature to engage healing.
