my approach
Connection is the foundation of my practice
Rooted in Intersectional Feminism and Queer Theory- oppression and trauma can be structural, and systemic power and privilege is real and impacts our psychological experience
Somatic, which means we won’t just talk about our thoughts, but we will ground our work together in what things feel like in the body and we value the wisdom of the bodymind. For more info on Somatic therapy, check out my Offerings page
Affirming of marginalized identities
Transpersonal Psychology- this means I orient from a Psycho-spiritual approach in which there is no difference between the psychological and the spiritual
Relational and humanistic, meaning we’ll grow, reflect, and learn together in real-time
Experiential- I check in regularly because your perspective matters to me. I want to understand what’s working and what’s not, both from your experience and my clinical assessment
