About My Clients
Something has called you inward. You have good coping skills, but what you need now is to turn toward your feelings, not away. What interests you is the slow, creative work of unfurling. You're creating new rituals or traditions, learning how to say "no", reconnecting with craft, or getting to know yourself in a new phase of life. I'm a strong fit for reflective, verbal, and emotionally curious folks who want a depth-oriented space to explore their inner world, process emotions, & make meaning.
My Background and Approach
An apprentice to grief before I was even born, I am a genderfluid, neurodivergent, lived-experience practitioner who has sought my own therapy and coaching support. I am an unwilling member of the Dead Parents Club and a survivor of the suicide of a loved one. I wished to use my pain to fully witness others' pain, companioning people through heartbreak and upheavals. The poet Natalie Diaz writes: "Rather than try to escape my griefs, I’m trying to recognize them as a wildness I can submerge myself in, to be washed clean by the very thing that aches me so deeply." This is the kind of invitation I offer. This is for grief without stages, a non-linear story that has no beginning, middle or end. Nothing here to fix. I will see your symptoms as signals. I will see your body as a source of truth and wisdom. Many folks who work with me are interested in learning to listen to themselves, learn how to notice when they are having a gut feeling. Then, to honor it rather than override it.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I have seen that turning toward emotion can be a freeing act. I believe that death-awareness can bring us all more into our aliveness and that creativity can help us process that which is impossible to explain. Let's talk about the hard parts. With chronic and perpetual suppression comes reduced capacity to engage with the world. Given that energy back, what would you like to do with it?
