About My Clients
I welcome your whole self, including the parts that hurt most, have been marginalized by dominant society, and are navigating change. You may be experiencing grief and loss around the death of a loved one, a memory loss diagnosis, the redefining of a role, grief over the climate, or a harm done to a family member. You may find yourself in a time of big transition. All of this may be resulting in exacerbated stress, depression, anxiety. I'm looking forward to supporting you.
My Background and Approach
My approach is collaborative and holistic. I draw on eight years of community-based therapeutic practice in which I’ve served people across the ages, from children to the oldest-old, and from different racial and class backgrounds, among other identities. I aim to co-create a therapy space that is welcoming, supportive and a source of liberatory health. Our sessions are based on your stated goals and our collaboration to reach the well-being you are seeking from therapy. I bring attention to mind, embodied experience, and spirit. I am passionate about integrating greater self-understanding through conversation while also utilizing mindfulness and expressive arts as entry points toward growth that truly is possible together. I incorporate elements of Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy, expressive arts, mindfulness, and self-compassion, among others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
“You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just weather.” -Pema Chodron. In our times of grief, and struggle for a healthy planet, for racial and social justice, and inner well-being and outer connection, how do we hold intense emotions and experiences and keep on? Life in these times often doesn’t feel like just weather. How do we know and feel that we are the sky-that inner sense of okayness as we are? How do we draw on the strengths of our inner selves and our supportive relationships to create a sense of wholeness? These are the kinds of questions I’m interested in answering in times of struggle, and in answering them, setting in motion practices that help nourish healing, fortitude, and even un-imagined growth. In seeking answers to questions that will be unique to you, I offer my compassionate witnessing, attuned curiosity, and collaboration to your healing and wellness. Please reach out to our practice and let us know what you would like therapy to support you with!
