- Healing from childhood trauma
- Neurodiversity
- Identity and meaning
- Relationships
I lean heavily on narrative, experiential, and yogic therapy styles, focusing on questions such as: “What does it feel like to be you, and what story do you want to tell with your life? What keeps getting in the way? What can be changed? How can we adapt? How can we take back power? And how do we set appropriate, authentic boundaries between self and others?”
“While there is life, there is hope.” – Publius Terentius Afer (195-159 B.C.E.)
I hold a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and am an Associate Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I do relational, systemic work with individuals (adolescents and older), couples, families, and groups.
My undergraduate studies included theater, music, and dance/movement, which later led to a degree in massage therapy and bodywork. My work/life experience includes parenting, carpentry, child development and behavioral interventions, pain management, musicianship, martial arts, animal training, rehabilitative movement, dance coaching, and barkeeping.
I am neurodiverse, gender chaotic, and spectrasexual – I resonate with clients who fall outside of social norms, including but not limited to:
- Neurodiversity, particularly ADHD and autism spectrum
- 2SLGBTQIA+
- Gender (excited to meet yours)
- Spirituality (pagan, Wiccan, agnostic, atheist, druidic, chaos agent, time lord, etc.)
- Relationship/sexual styles (polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, bD/sm, kink, relationship anarchy)
…or anything you haven’t felt safe enough to discuss within your current living environment or cultural expectations.
I am a lifelong geek and nerd. If it’s therapeutically relevant, let’s explore an emotional struggle through your favorite Dungeons & Dragons, anime, comic book, or video game character. Science fiction and fantasy taught me to delight in exploring questions of “what if?” and how we make sense of the world around us. I am passionate about learning about how we learn, understanding the crossovers between science, art, myth, and, as Virginia Satir once put it – “becoming more fully human.”
