To future clients, I find that sharing about myself in the beginning of our relationship can help create a better sense of the lenses through which I approach the world and therapy. I believe my training is only one of the lenses that helps me understand and work with problems and clients. My personal experiences also inform what I see and what I do not see. It is possible that my personal identities may be helpful or a limitation in our work together – so I think it is helpful to learn your thoughts about this too. I think it is important to be able to discuss this throughout our journey together if relevant.
With of this in mind, I identify as a white, queer, single, middle-class person with no children. I am deeply informed by a spirituality that draws from sources ranging from multiple spiritualities. I am from NC, with ancestors from across Europe and the United States. My practice is informed by a focus in trauma, the wisdom of the body, and spirituality.
Much of my education has centered on queerness and communities of color. I am a student of womanism and employ a feminist pedagogical framework aimed to dismantle sexism, sexist exploitation, and oppression. While differences between us tend to be the primary concern, I contend similarity can also pose limitations. Regardless, I hope we can work together.
