Therapy for

Embodiment
&
Liberation

Maybe you’re sick of never feeling “good enough,” no matter what you do.

Maybe you’re sick of going to therapists who don’t make space for all of who you are.

What you want isn’t outrageous:

A life that feels mostly fulfilling.

Relationships that feel real and nourishing.

Maybe even knowing who you are or what you want?

If it’s not outrageous to want those things, why does it have to be so hard?

-

As a therapist, I love meeting people who want these things for themselves. Want them so badly that they’re willing to do the hard stuff.

I’m not interested in being a “fixer” — even though our work together might involve learning new skills, I never want to encourage the idea that you or your experiences are problems to be fixed.

I’m much more interested in expanding your already-existing internal resources to support your actions, big and small, in the wider world.

-

Together, we’ll take a good, hard look at what’s yours and take responsibility for it, while giving back what’s not yours with a firm hand.

We’ll greet all the parts that show up with compassion and curiosity.

We’ll make space to grieve the hurts and the losses, even if it feels awful to acknowledge them.

We’ll break open black-and-white thinking to make room for all the beautiful, perhaps painful, but oh-so-necessary nuance.

And I’ll hold the door open to the possibility that you have been worthy this whole time.

Want more specifics? I got you.

Some of my favorite quotes about healing...

  • “Healing is about taking the time to notice what gets in the way of feeling connected to your life, your community, and your sense of possibility. Healing, at its core, is about slowing down so that we can better listen — to ourselves and to each other.”

    —Susan Raffo

  • “Our radical imagination is a tool for decolonization, for reclaiming our right to shape our lived reality.”

    — adrienne maree brown

  • “Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

    - Audre Lorde

  • “If we honored the inherent wisdom of our bodies, we would learn to listen, to treat them with respect instead of judgment, and to experience them as sacred messengers that bring us information about our physical needs, our innermost feelings, and our individual internal rhythms.”

    -Anita Johnston

  • “Trauma in a person, decontextualized over time, looks like personality. Trauma in a family, decontextualized over time, looks like family traits. Trauma in a culture, decontextualized over time, looks like culture.”

    -Resmaa Menakem

  • “I think of each body a lion of courage,
    and something precious to the earth.”

    - Mary Oliver

  • “Our strategy should not be only to confront empire, but to lay siege to it. To deprive it of oxygen….With our art, our music, our literature, our stubbornness, our joy, our brilliance, our sheer relentlessness — and our ability to tell our own stories. Stories that are different from the ones we’ve been brainwashed to believe.”

    — Arundhati Roy
