I am a client centered (you are the expert on you) , transpersonal (our therapeutic connection is the foundation for your healing) therapist and use Gestalt, somatic (how, what and where you are feeling) and IFS theories (identifying, acknowledging and welcoming the different parts of us) to approach our work together. My approach to therapy is creative, direct and warm.
Individual Therapy
I support people in the evolution of their life’s journey - gender and sexual identity and expression, people looking to understand and integrate their experience and symptoms of neurodivergence (ADHD, OCD, OCPD), transitions to parent hood, post partum depression and anxiety for the birthing parent, aging, deep generational patterns and cycles. I resonate with people who feel like they sit at the perimeter of society, eccentric personalities, artists, non conformists, folks who are curious about themselves and the world. Together we can gain understanding of your challenges and envision a way of being and relating that centers and empowers you.
My space is radically free of judgment, accepting of the parts of you that feel too dark or difficult to bring to light. The dark, heavy or taboo are welcome and encouraged. You will learn how to foster resilience and operate from a place of agency allowing you to make choices for your life that support who are you and how you want to live and be in the world. Together we will process and release old patterns and limiting beliefs that inhibit the full expression of who you are and who you are becoming.
Areas of Focus:
Identities - Emergence, transition, reclamation
Self esteem, shame and shadow work (perfectionism, constant striving/production, rumination, dark or intruding thoughts)
Depressive and Anxiety Disorders
Inter - Generational trauma - historical patterns of grief, sorrow and fear
Relationships
I enjoy and have extensive experience working with novelty, emergence, transition, betrayal and grief within relationships. Sitting with the dynamic nature of your relationship allows us to envision and create a model that works for all people involved. Opening up to this process can be exciting, vulnerable and a little scary. I will guide us in identifying what it is everyone wants and needs from the relationship from the emotional to the sexual to the logistical. From there we can work to heal what needs to be healed and rebuild or create a new foundation to begin the next cycle of your connection.
Areas of Focus:
Non traditional relationship, family and parenting models (Queer, Solo, ENM,Poly, Coparenting (single, cohabitating, hybrid)
Communication: trust, desire discrepancies, sexual history and traumas
Developing and maintaining consensual erotic and intimate connection
Intentional and respectful transition or separation
