Are you looking for deeper meaning in your work or relationships? Trying to create change in your life but feel stuck? Unsure of your next steps? Not even sure where to begin? It’s ok, sometimes we all need someone to talk to. Everyone needs a safe space where we can put down our armor and be our true selves. To say how we’re really feeling. Without that opportunity, our batteries wear down pretty fast. We go through our whole lives acting like everything’s fine, but you don’t have to look very far beneath the surface to see there’s more going on behind our brave faces. No matter what, you can always talk to me.
A typical session with me is a deep, compassionate conversation with a sprinkle of critical thinking, a dash of philosophical theory, and a meditation garnish. I like to fill my chalkboard with diagrams or lists of helpful information so you can take a picture with your phone before you leave. Pocketful of mental health resources, to go!
I'm a creative, visual thinker and sometimes I communicate in pictures. My method is a holistic blend of Transpersonal Psychology, Bowen Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Compassionate Inquiry, Inner Child Work, and Post Traumatic Growth. My practice is progressive, intersectionally feminist, Pro-Choice, Anti-Racist, Queer, Trans, and Sex Worker friendly.

Revision Writer's Group
Reclaim your voice. Creative writing is one of the most powerful ways to process our emotions because it allows us to gain authority over how our story is told. Emotional experiences often elude verbal language. We may recall time shifts, metaphorical imagery or fragmented information; which lend themselves beautifully to the poetic form. Instead of reliving a painful experience, let’s make something out of it. Group therapy is also 40% less expensive than individual sessions.
