About me
Do you find that you’re stuck in patterns within your relationship where you don’t feel seen or known? Maybe you have a hard time sensing what you feel, need or want. Coming back to yourself and learning how to trust, feel, and heed the wisdom in the sensation and feeling you’re capable of is brave and beautiful work.
I work with individual adults and teens dealing with issues related to trauma, self-esteem, neurodivergence/giftedness, relationship challenges, complex or difficult family relationships, and just general weltschmerz about the state of things. I am poly, kink, and LGBTQIA+ affirming and celebrating, and I strive toward collective liberation and anti-oppression in my practice. I am informed by Internal Family Systerms, somatic/mindfulness-based and psychoanalytic approaches, and I am working towards attaining my EMDR certification in November. I enjoy making space for accessing your spirituality as a resource in sessions if that interests you.
I embody humor and silliness, patience, warmth, sometimes gentle feistiness if warranted, and deep care and respect in my work with clients. We will always go at your pace because you are the expert on what you are ready for, and I defer to you. I would be honored to work with you to learn how to listen for the quiet voice of what’s unmistakably true within you. I think that voice is so very worth everything it takes to find and welcome it.
When I’m not working, I am zooming back and forth between many beloved hobbies (foraging, gardening, playing music, making art, learning how to make things that I couldn’t before) and trying to spend as much time as I can deepening my relationship with the land I live on.
I feel lucky to exist now, with you, despite all the chaos we are living through, and I’m really excited to connect.
