I practice affirming, allied, feminist therapy rooted in empowerment and strengths perspectives. I acknowledge that late-stage capitalism is an implicit factor in functioning. I believe sleep, calories, and movement form the foundation for coping.
My style of therapy is based in the knowledge that you are the best expert on your life. Your feelings may be unreliable narrators and together we will question their perspectives. I use behavioral activation, psychodynamic, and solution focused approaches to empower you to achieve your goals and tolerate your reality.
You have the right to every human emotion. Having access to them is another issue altogether. Together, we will find them, name them, feel them, express them, and move through them.
With intentional and practical skill building, emotional maintenance won’t feel beyond you. You will learn feelings are important signals on functioning and the impulses they inspire are choices, not requirements.
