About My Clients
Do you consider yourself geekish, freakish, nerdy, or queer? Perhaps you're a Pagan or witchy type of person. Finding a therapist who not only accepts you but embraces your uniqueness and makes it part of your healing journey can be hard. You want to deal with change, ease anxiety, and overcome your problems in a way that naturally builds on who you are and how you approach life. My clients seek to be supported but compassionately challenged to grow into their best and wonderfully unique selves.
My Background and Approach
Our work starts with who you are and where you're at in life. Together, we'll look at where you want to be, WHO you want to be, and decide how to get you there. I describe myself as unconventional because my approach is collaborative, holistic, and guided by you as a person. That means we build on your strengths, humor, and unique outlook to explore all areas of your life including thoughts, emotions, behaviors, spirituality, and social connection. Our work will help you move in the directions that are important to you, even when things get hard. Therapy is work, but we'll support you through the challenges to move toward the life you want. I also offer unique approaches such as therapeutic Tarot and Walk-Talk therapy that gets you outdoors and moving during sessions. The strength and answers are there inside you and we will draw them out to help you do more of what works for you and less of what doesn't. You'll gain the confidence in yourself to handle whatever life throws at you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
You are not broken. You may be struggling right now, but I know the strength and power to heal is there inside you. I believe that you don't need a bunch of random theories and techniques thrown at you like a one-size-fits-all bandage over your problems. Rather, our work is to uncover the tools that make sense to you to nurture your potential and help you make changes in ways that make sense to you. I became a therapist to become the person I needed in my own struggles, which included coming out as a gender-diverse person and dealing with extreme change and trauma. As a druidic practitioner, I was nervous to reach out to a therapist for fear of being judged for my emerging identity and spirituality. I want you to feel free to be you in our sessions - unafraid and unapologetically so. I believe that current psychological theories show us a piece of the puzzle but other tools such as metaphor, art, and Tarot can offer additional perspectives that expand our tools for healing.
