individual therapy
compassionate, queer, neuroaffirming emdr & ifs therapy for curious, creative, collective-minded adults in oregon.
YOU ARE ADAPTIVE, WISE, MADE OF STARDUST, THE STUFF OF EVOLUTION.
You know that change is constant, and yet, change knocks the wind out of you. After all you’ve experienced, change can still be disorienting, unsettling, and can call into question basic assumptions you have about yourself, your identity, your relationships. Even when you’re moving in your desired direction, adjusting to change brings up a lot of shit.
To complicate matters, you may have unknowingly created complex internal systems to bypass or avoid painful aspects of your life throughout your development. Over time you grow, adapt, change, but old worn out ways stubbornly stick.
Therapy can be a space to shed through old skins that no longer fit, discover new ways of being, and dedicate intentional time to the exploration and processing of yourself, your relationships, your community and context.
should we work together?
If you’ve made it this far, you may already know!
Perhaps you want to understand why you feel burnt out, unable to enjoy the life you’ve worked hard to create, or are feeling lost and trying to find your footing in the midst of a life transition, or a relationship. I’m interested in supporting you to feel safe in the world and live well; as a sensitive person, a grieving person, a person who seeks to understand and be understood. Together we can help you to notice and navigate boundaries, learn strategies to stay with your own experience, and feel more confident in yourself and the world you inhabit.
It is hard to be a human! Particularly in a society that tells you that who you are is wrong or not enough. I want to support you to resist this message. To reimagine, rediscover, and remember that you are a uniquely vital, luminous, part of the whole.
I’m here to support you in accessing gender-affirming care, in understanding your neuro[divinity] and sensory system, and all the other many ways you live and love in the world.
As my client you can expect my attuned presence, care and respect.
I will be an active participant on your healing journey, supporting you to explore the safety and ground within yourself as you step further into your agency, strength, and unique identity.
You can also expect that I will show up as myself, a fellow human, healing and discovering alongside you.
