About My Clients
Your body and mind can be uncomfortable places to be when dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, physical injury/disability, identity questions, and/or trauma. It can be especially uncomfortable or even scary when you feel alone or stuck without effective ways to work through what's happening. Together, we can find ways to make your body and mind comfortable places to be that fit your life and needs.
My Background and Approach
When you come into the office, you'll be in a space that values your individual identities and needs. Our work will center emotion and thought processing and exploration while discovering new tools and making new connections. My goal is that you gain a sense of control around your life and relief from stressors. You'll also gain an understanding of your emotions and thoughts and practice experiencing emotions in a safe way that will strengthen your relationship with your mind and body. We'll collaborate to individualize tools we use to fit your life circumstances and needs so that lasting change can occur.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that the messages we learn through our familial, social, and cultural environments have a deep impact on the way we experience the world through our minds and bodies. For example, you might think your injury recovery doesn't depend on your mental health, or that being queer is a flaw. I prioritize understanding those messages and working on unlearning and/or adapting the ones that are not serving you. Learning my clients' stories is a privilege that I don't take lightly, so I work to understand and address biases I hold based on my identities. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and empowering space that allows my clients to feel liberated in their existence.
