My Values
Good Therapy
I take steps to ensure that you’re getting quality treatment that is worth your investment.
Mind-Body-Spirit Holism
You are one organism! That which we call your mind, body, and spirit are interconnected and all a part of the ONE YOU.
Organicity
All living things naturally want to move toward well-being.
Unity
Respecting the intersectional nature of identities and the interconnectedness we all have regardless of these identities.
We’re all in this together.
Body Inclusivity
Your value is not connected to your body mass, ability, skin color, or gender expression.
Mindfulness/Presence
Here. Now.
Non-Violence
Healing does not require force. When the barriers are removed, it will happen.
Relational Alchemy
The relationship you have with your therapist is an important component to your therapeutic process. It has to feel right for you!
The Personal is Political. Therapy is, too.
The historic and systemic influence of discrimination and inequality is deeply entangled in the theory and practice of mental health care. I am committed to continuing to increase my awareness of these factors and how they affect my own biases as well as how they show up in the lives and therapeutic needs of my clients.
Intersectional Feminism
Our identities intersect and include gender, race, age, class, socioeconomic status, physical or mental ability, gender or sexual identity, religion, or ethnicity.
Queer Is Awesome
LGBTQIA+ affirming
