I believe in our individual and collective capacity to heal and transform, and that we do not need to walk that path alone. I often work with people who are searching for a way back to safety, dignity and belonging in their relationships. I work at the edge of healing trauma and social justice with a belief that our pathways to healing are not just individual, but are shaped by cultural context. As a queer practitioner with lived experience, I am deeply aware of how legacies of trauma and oppression shape our pathways to connection. I am committed to prioritizing your agency and collaboration in our work together.
My approach to therapy includes the integration of many modalities through ongoing consent and collaboration. This can look like increasing awareness of emotions and body sensations, creative visualization, working with nature and the land, expressive arts, breathing, movement, grief processing, somatics (body work), generative somatics and storytelling.
I approach my practice with a reverence for your lived experience and see myself as a collaborator, witness and guide on your healing path. If you are curious about being in conversation and practice with me, you are welcome to book a 15 minute consult. I look forward to meeting you.
