About My Clients
Are you someone who would like to feel more joy, or struggles with anxious thoughts about the future or how a situation might play out? Do you wish you could gift yourself more ease - in how you speak to yourself, how you rest, in relationships? Do you sometimes struggle with identifying what you need or want, or even how you feel (emotionally or in your body)? These are hard but very real and human experiences, I experience them too. I am here to support you in working on these areas.
My Background and Approach
I combine traditional and holistic therapeutic approaches to support and facilitate client curiosity, exploration, and growth. I am dedicated to maintaining a strength-based, compassionate, light-hearted space to support clients in strengthening their self-awareness, self-advocacy and connecting with the wisdom that is already there. My goal is to meet my clients 'where' they are, maintain cultural sensitivity and unconditional positive regard for clients, and their loved ones as we work together to meet their needs. My approach to therapy is active and experiential, utilizing various modalities to engage clients to actively explore their experience or engage with themselves in a different way. I reject the idea of binaries in our experience - in that many things can exist at once, we can be sad, angry, jealous and joyful at once. I believe this approach to our humanity makes room for curiosity and deeper understanding of our complexity, which to me feels like ease and permission.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am a queer non-binary person of mixed race descent, and my identity influences how I enter and occupy space in my therapy practice. I believe that gender and sexuality are fluid, dynamic and deeply personal- you do not have to justify who you are or the language you use to quantify your relationship to these parts of yourself to anyone! My therapy practice is oriented as anti-oppression, anti-racist, community oriented, feminist, wherein I view therapy as social justice work - as Grace Lee Boggs proclaimed, "Transform yourself to transform the world". It is a great honor to support my clients in their journey, and the vulnerability and trust required of clients is not something I ever take for granted. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, in all levels of unfolding or knowing and I will do my part to welcome you with warmth and compassion.
