Seeking. We all want answers. To what? Most of the time it doesn’t seem like we know. What we do know is that something is missing. Whether you struggle with financial insecurity or relationship insecurity. Whether your mind can’t stop racing with thoughts and ideas, or you can’t make your way from your bed to your sink. There must be something more to this life. Ask someone how they found the answers, and they might suggest therapy. But where do we start? We start from a basis of trust and understanding. A safe space where you can feel free to express the ideas that scare you sometimes more than they scare your own family.
It is my passion to work with men to heal the damage done by the expectations of masculinity, women and all other gendered/non gendered individuals to harness their natural intuitive powers, anyone identifying as queer, polyamorous, non-monogamous etc., as well as those engaging in alternative lifestyles to find acceptance among themselves and their peers.
Through radical acceptance and non-judgment, I work from a strength based perspective to identify in my clients what is already working for them, so we can use those things to put them back into connection with themselves, their community, and the phases of life. It is only when there is safe space at the table for ALL individuals that our work will be done.
