About My Clients
As a trained addictions counselor, I work with people who are experiencing emotional pain and want it to stop. We find that pain in a variety of ways and the suffering feels completely overwhelming. I get it. I overstand. Let's turn and face that something inside of that desperately wants to be healed.
My Background and Approach
“Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it is faced. - James Baldwin My focus is on holding space for you so that you can achieve healing and empowerment. I am a sojourner on your healing path. You may be wondering how you are possibly going to put your life back together. Or, maybe, perhaps you're praying that you can finally put the vice down. Maybe the heartbreak of loss and unexpected endings is eating you up. We might be a good fit for one another if you're queer, poly, considering recovery, interested in a somatics based practitioner, and vibe with crystals and energy. Whatever it is, let's share a cup of coffee and figure it out together. If you are committed to your wellness and have a desire to seek restoration for a weary soul, hit my line. Let's Get Well, Y'all!
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a trained addictions counselor, I work with people who are experiencing emotional pain and want it to stop. We find that pain in a variety of ways and the suffering feels completely overwhelming. I get it. I overstand. Let's turn and face that something inside of that desperately wants to be healed. I'm always eager to integrate holistic, intuitive, and eclectic methods including dream therapy and bibliotherapy. As a Focusing Oriented Therapist (a somatics based practice), which comes from the Gendlin school of thought. This allows clients an opportunity to get out of their heads, into their bodies, and engage polyvagal regulation. Further, I often use the expressive arts in my practice with clients particularly bibliotherapy. Clients have also found the use of sand play to be helpful at understanding patterns and increasing resiliency.
