here for advocates, caregivers, therapists, & social workers
Those who share the most success after working with me are looking for support through challenges, on-going consultation, or to reprocess harmful experiences in a way that is more adaptive. They are committed to the work and rest and have described me as genuine, knowledgeable, and straightforward.
There may have been times when you were denied compassion due to assumptions about the money, abilities, or external qualities you have. This space is not that, and there is no requirement to show up perfectly or to perform. We will collaborate as you challenge your comfort zones and begin to realize you can trust yourself and your bodymind.
This is a confidential space where you can explore ways to interact with your world, discuss how supremacy culture impacts health, and talk about strategies to navigate systems built without your success in mind. My approach has a lens of humor, liberation, and how relationships impact well-being. Being dedicated to your mental wealth means we will incorporate community, culture, and capacity into your care, so you are more successful when releasing tensions. As a non-pathologizing provider, diagnoses will only be used when required and with your collaboration.
As a person with lived experience I am willing to offer this, when appropriate, as a way to normalize the human experience and shift dynamics in hierarchical systems. It also means I know addressing trauma gets WiLd. Finding supportive resources will be part of our work together, because my lived experience does not translate into being an expert on your situation or your only source of information.
If you think we could be a good match, reach out and let's taco 'bout it. If we have collaborated in the past, reach out anytime to check availability.
