What if there's nothing "wrong" with you? What if your symptoms have meaning and wisdom and, instead of trying to get rid of them, they were explored with curiosity, presence, compassion and creativity? I work with clients 16+ from a gestalt, somatic, relational, creative and trauma-focused approach to meet you where you are and support you as you navigate being human. My work is non-pathologizing and a safe place for those who identify as non-binary and LGBTQIA+
I'll support you to begin to turn towards and explore your experience with curiosity, compassion and creativity; listen to the 'unspoken voice' of your body; deepen self-awareness and understanding; take risks; and discover more supported, connected and satisfying possibilities for being in your body, in relationship and in the world, here-and-now.
I see beauty in the way we learn to adapt to life’s challenges. Whether you learned to numb your emotions, put up a wall, expect yourself to be perfect, or something else, it helped you to survive to this point and shows that you can adapt and change; you are resilient. Together we'll explore what your experience is saying about what's needed now.
