My grounding mission is to guide you in radically healing your own emotional suffering.
My therapeutic gift is helping you access the peace which is waiting deep within you. Or I am a healer who helps you connect to the deep peace within yourself.
I’m uniquely skilled at helping people find beautiful power in their neurodivergence and oppressed identities.
My therapeutic presence is warm and playful. I balance data and scientific findings with fun, insight, and non-judgemental exploration.
I am developing a new therapeutic method called the Facet/Asset Model which honors the many faces, parts, and multi-ness of ourselves paired with a focus on strength-based skill/strategy and leveraging assets. I work from a blend of emotional, mental, and behavioral health principles to co-create treatment with you. These include functional behavioral analysis, compassion-focused therapy, and DBT emotional regulation/distress tolerance.
I guide clients in creating lasting, meaningful change by nourishing their nervous systems and helping them access true refuge within themselves. Together, we cultivate your emotional/behavioral brilliance.
Individualization: Building a custom program/intervention with you.
Neuroqueer
I am a unique clinician who is trained in school psychology, meaning I have expertise in psychological evaluation/assessment, disability, and child/family development. I also have a Master’s degree in Sexuality Studies, and can help you explore and analyze your sexuality, gender, and relationships.
My expertise is exceptionally valuable for people who experience challenges functioning in mainstream socio-economic systems.
Compassion focused therapy, effective for self-blame and mood disruption.
Training in CBT-I because… who can sleep these days?
I adapt my approach to meet your needs by beginning with a thorough assessment where we identify and decide on your personal therapeutic targets. We use data, both quantitative (numbers) and qualitative (words), to see the progress you’re making. We will continue to focus on your growth and goals until you feel actualized, fulfilled, and resourced.
The core principles that guide my work are functional behavioral analysis, bespoke individually tailored services, and Disability Justice. This means that I work to understand the underlying motivations for your actions so that we can make impactful, felt changes. Together, we will develop your own personal interventions, programs, and themes of growth. We work from the enriched bedrock of principles of Disability Justice, especially anti-capitalism, recognizing wholeness, and interdependence.
When we engage in your growth, you can expect to feel more depth, ease, and aliveness.
The populations I feel most called to serve include trans people, queer families, people with extreme behavioral challenges or psychiatric disabilities, and survivors of abuse.
I love people with disabilities. I value difference, access, disruption, and energy budgeting.
The breakthrough moments I’m most passionate about encouraging are expanding your feelings of embodied presence and integration – when you feel clearly aware, whole, and light.
Intersectional and overlapping oppression
I hold an abundance of other.
