I have experience working with people whose identities have been confusing for them whether that be adolescents or adults seeking to tether themselves to their core values as they attempt to find their authentic selves within our society. Some of the people that gravitate towards me have had their hearts broken recently or from a young age after noticing their family of origin, religious communities, or public institutions shunned, devalued, or disowned them. 

 

As a clinician I find that many of the clients I work with feel a sense of discontent and incongruence in our society that ultimately affects their mental, physical, or relational health. It is my belief that the feelings of confusion, incongruence, and discontent are all natural reactions to being forced into muted and repressed versions of ourselves. 

 

 I work from a framework that centers Unconditional Positive Regard, firm acceptance, radicalization of inner joy, and expanding empathetic muscles. As a therapist I wish to pay forward the gift of authentic and reparative relationships. I promise to witness you with non-judgemental, patience, competence, and curiosity. I will not “teach” you but I will be a mirror with an intention to reflect parts of you seen and unseen.
