I help my clients feel worthy of turning their big loving hearts toward themselves so they can feel more agency and alignment in their lives. In a time of increasing state violence and surveillance, it's more important than ever that we learn how to tend to ourselves with radical self-love and self-trust, so that we can show up to our communities with energy and big love to give.
To my fellow queer, trans, and kinky folks - I see you, and send you a special welcome. :)
I strive to create an environment that helps you to feel safe so that you can be with the many layers of your experience and move toward understanding and meeting your needs. Sometimes I bring in wisdom from my teachers, astrology, podcasts and books that feel relevant, but most of the time I aim to support you in cultivating your inner knowing and trusting yourself. I believe you're the expert of your own experience, and it's not my job to "fix" you. I'm a witness, sometimes-guide, and curious co-explorer in the unfolding and flowering process that is you! :)
I don’t do a typical “intake” session - I’ll share some important information about confidentiality and ask a few questions related to your safety, but then I follow your lead, making room for what’s important to you, and offering invitations along the way. I might invite you to notice what’s happening in and around your body as you talk about something, or to “hang out” with a feeling that’s coming up and bring some curiosity to it. I often do “parts work” (Internal Family Systems - informed), which gives you a chance to practice taking a big loving seat in yourself and meeting your feelings (even loud, angry, habitual, and scary ones) with tenderness and compassion.
My hope is that through working together you get to feel more agency, alignment, and joy in your own life.
