About My Clients
I'm fucking tired, too - of all of it, but nothing is going to change until we confront and contend with the root of how we got here. We must reckon with our personal and collective past if we’re going to have any real hope of a future worth living in. Healing is like vomiting – the only way to feel better is to get it out. In a lot of ways, I will be like that friend who holds your hair back as you release whatever's ailing you. Prepare to hug the toilet, love, this may hurt just a bit!
What I Specialize In
They say, "Change is the only constant," and yet here you are. Stuck... ... Trapped with no way out and not sure how much longer you can go on like this. You know you're not dead, but it doesn't feel right to say that you're alive, either, so death sounds about as good an option as life. Regardless, this is not how you wanted your life to go and since you are still alive you might as well try to minimize the misery. But then there's the rage... the anger and hatred for all the bullshit colonial and white supremacist fuckshit you continue to have to resist every damn day. You want things to be different, and not just for yourself, either. Believe me, hon, I GET it. I have BEEN there - to Hell and back and have the scars to prove it. I have made my office/clinic here in this In-Between of life and death, love and hate, freedom and incarceration, joy and suffering, community and isolation, dystopia and revolution, chaos and tranquility. Nobody belongs in the In-Between, not even you.
My Values as a Therapist
My intention with my clients is to help you heal so you can be more effective at fighting internal and external oppression. That said, thank you for still being here. You could have given up several times by this point, but you didn’t. It’s exactly that toughness that we’re going to need to build a more compassionate world together. The time is now to liberate our collective future. So let’s start with yours, shall we? What you want matters; it doesn’t make you bad, it makes you lovely. My license (Marriage and Family Therapist) is the only mental health license that requires a minimum number of “relational” hours for full licensure. This means I am uniquely equipped to help couples/polycules get to the root of their conflicts. In addition, even when I am working with an individual I see their problems and solutions through a relational lens. “There’s magic in being seen by someone who understands — it gives you permission to keep going.” ~Alok Vaid-Menon
