“Pass on what you have learned. Strength. Mastery. But also weakness, folly, failure also. Yes, failure most of all. The greatest teacher, failure is" - Yoda
We often seek out therapy because something within us yearns for change. Multiple parts with their own voice, habits, and desires, vie to be heard within. Some parts may believe failure is something that makes us lesser. American culture steeps us in the idea that shame is a good motivator for change, yet it only creates more pain. By exploring our shame, our pains, and what we deeply yearn for, we can grow.
People and Issues
I enjoy working with a variety of people and issues they are dealing with on their journey of growth and transformation. For identities and communities, I find particular enjoyment in working with people who fall into any of these identities: men, neurodivergent, non-monogamous, queer, trans and nonbinary, pagan/wicca/witch, geeks, and kinksters. When it comes to the issues people are dealing with, I am extra excited to work with people on: shame and guilt, trauma, identity exploration, gender socialization, struggles with oppressive societal norms, and self esteem.
Methods
I primarily use Internal Family Systems therapy to listen and interact with wounded and hurting parts. I also can include your relationship with the natural world as an aspect of your therapy experience.
Community
As a social worker, I think our relationships and connections to community and society at large are a crucial aspect of healing and growth. I will ask about these relationships, whether or not they are the primary focus of therapy.
