Hi, I'm Jen! I'm a queer, neurodivergent (ADHD) therapist specializing in complex trauma and attachment & what those things do to your relationships, your self-worth, and your ability to just... freaking exist without it being so hard. The people I work with are usually extremely self-aware. They've read all the books, they know their attachment style (and probably everyone else’s) & they could probably explain their childhood to you in clinical detail. Yet, they're still struggling, because understanding your wounds and actually healing them are two very different things.
If you relate to any of this, we might be a good fit: You have a critical voice in your head expecting you always to be perfect, no excuses! You give a lot but have a really hard time receiving. Resting feels wrong…so instead of resting you’re filled with the guilt of what you should be doing. (hello, capitalism!)
I'm sex/kink affirming, sex-work positive, cannabis friendly, gender affirming, and neurodivergence affirming (aka I accept you fully as you are, from day 1) My approach is integrative: parts work, inner child work, brain-based and emotion-focused techniques. So yes, I will ask what that feels like in your body! ◡̈
