Updated 8/6/24: Accepting new clients. - By deciding to engage in therapy you have already made a commitment to bettering yourself and initiating change. Let’s celebrate that! Taking a meaningful look at our day-to-day lives and pasts can be daunting-let’s create a tender and safe atmosphere to wade through this process together. Too often, our mental health challenges are reduced to diagnosis, labels, and text-book definitions that don’t quite fit—my approach departs from these systems and is more rooted in holistic and relational healing.
During our time together you will be met with a caring presence and guidance to honor your own inner wisdom and healing. I trust your experience and understanding of your world around you. Together we can mindfully work towards establishing a sense of peace and authenticity.
I identify as queer. I am cis, white, straight-sized, and able-bodied. I continuously work to evaluate personal gain from privileged identities I hold in effort to be an anti-racist, gender affirming, and disability affirming human. I believe in delineating traditional power structures that are found in medicine and therapy.
