About My Clients
I work with clients of all identities ages 14+ and most of my experience has been with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC folx. You probably have ideas about why life feels hard right now. Often it’s things like: thoughts that don’t stop, really big feelings, relationship struggles, or school. Or maybe everything just feels like a big, confusing mess and you’re worried about what happens if you don’t sort it out. Often my clients feel out of place, "too sensitive", or want to be more connected.
My Background and Approach
My approach is very relational, which means I value your strengths, your experiences, and all the factors in your life that made you who you are. I take the time to get to know more about your world and our world. And, as adrienne maree brown says, we move, "at the speed of trust." I'm a supportive sidekick who helps you work on skills and tools to build the next part of your life, and we look at ways to connect you with supportive people and communities. For teens, when it’s helpful, we’ll also work with your caregivers. My approach is eclectic, which means I can also tailor how we do things in order to meet your specific needs. Here are some examples of things that have been helpful to past clients in order to gain healing and create what comes next: gaining understanding of painful or confusing parts of your life, writing stories, dance parties, art, learning about friendships, practicing skills for difficult moments, talking about shame, and more
