HOW I HELP
I wholeheartedly honor and accept both the wonderful and the terrible suffering that comes with the human experience. I often lead with my humanity in session through humor, presence, and the occasional validation of challenging the archaic "blank slate" mentality. I enjoy a good 'care-frontation' and I'm not afraid of shedding a tear while holding the pain of the person across from me.
I embrace a creative narrative stance of re-storying and the power of words. I believe in the process of making our emotions tangible through externalization (i.e., verbal personification of artistic expression) and often integrate relational cultural tenets. I place an emphasis on connection, existential meaning, and amplification of silenced voices.
I dig deep to better understand the constructs that both serve (and no longer serve) patients in their present state of being. This is conducted through extensive trauma-trained inner child work, an affirming lens for diverse neurotypes and erotically marginalized folks.
AS A HUMAN
For folks who are interested in philosophical stances and theoretical frameworks, I naturally perceive the world through a Foucauldian social constructivist perspective, especially in the realms of: consent in power dynamics, the archaeology of knowledge, and the sway of semantics. I also appreciate Aurelius's stoicism, and Nietzsche's dark and twisty provocation of wonder. Poetically, I admire the truthful grit expressed by Kalen Dion, and the transformative words of a true goddess, Maya Angelou.
I love the riff of Jack White on a guitar and the realness of Ryan Bingham's lyrics. Like my fellow kinetically fueled brains, I focus best with predictable, bass-hitting beats and a, a wanna-be Ph.Dj in my next career.
I am a therapist, clinical supervisor, ethics consultant, professor, and researcher. I enjoy retro sticker collages (like the banner - scroll up and the one to the right) and the satisfaction of putting wax seals on envelopes. I am also a lover of vintage typewriters, rescue plants, edgy poetry, and deep, philosophical conversations that scratch my incessant intellectual itch.
