Each client is the expert of their own experience and carries inherent worth and internal resources that I am honored to witness. I practice from a neuro-affirming, non-pathologizing paradigm, especially enjoying aiding autistic clients to validate and accommodate their authentic selves. I'm queer and agender, and many of my clients are LGBTQIA+, including ace/aro, bi/pan, and trans/nonbinary. <3 I see my clients as complex narrators of their unique stories, often wielding galactic inner landscapes that deserve to be celebrated and lugging burdens that no longer need to be shouldered.
I use an eclectic, relational, trauma-informed approach while utilizing lived experience and evidence-based modalities to best cater to individual needs, including parts, somatic, and acceptance skills. I highly value the therapeutic relationship as a co-creative, actively engaged process where I walk alongside a client as they find their truth and power.
I practice cultural humility and competence. I actively listen to diverse voices in the community so that I can empathetically and sensitively help clients of all ethnicities, classes, abilities, beliefs, etc. It would be a privilege to help you in your self-empowerment journey!
