Hi! We might be a good fit if you live in Oregon & a few of these questions resonate for you: What is working within my current relationship(s)? What would healthy & holistic boundaries look like for us? What patterns are my partner(s) & I stuck in? What realities do we dream for our relationship(s)? How does my community & our shared history support me as I create a meaningful life? How do I process how others' histories, traumas or pain contributed to their harmful impact on me? How do I navigate grief & loss?
As a queer person, I believe my client's when they tell me about their histories & their hopes for the future. I believe in the power of healing within relationships.I believe that our experiences & are personhood do not exist within a vacuum. Finding ourselves within the context of our histories, community, identities & power structures matter.
I know that inviting someone else into your relationships can bring up a variety of feelings. I don't see myself as an expert, a judge, or a product manager. I'm here to support you & your partner(s) as you create a meaningful life worth living.
