•PASSING WISDOM•
Drawing on my education, training and experience as a RP who is queer, biracial, and genderqueer, my hope is to offer wisdom from my unique experience supporting other's from similar communities facing intersectional oppression.

I'll be rooting for you all the way!
Together, we can dig deep on identity, whether that be; sexual, gender, ethnic/racial, or getting back in touch with SELF. I'm here to support you when it comes to: LGBTQ2SA+ issues, questioning identity, "coming out"/"letting in", minority stress, racial trauma, colonial/systemic violence, generational trauma, biracial dissonance, shame and guilt, anxiety, depression, confidence and self-esteem, gender dysphoria, and pre/post transition support.
I work from a LGBTQ2SA+ and neurodivergent affirming lens. I predominately use Internal Family Systems, Narrative, and Systems-Centered approaches. What this can look like is exploring and acknowledging all different parts of you; witnessing those part's stories of how they started doing their job in protecting you, where those beliefs may have come from, and then allowing space for self-healing in ways of witnessing, reparenting, re-storying, unburdening, bringing young fragmented parts to a safer place or to the present.
I believe it's okay for you to be you- that what we hide away from others is often what makes us phenomenal and allows us to come alive. This is your journey and I'll be there rooting for you all the way!

The Root Workers are the: containers, sin-eaters, hope holders, soldiers of suffering, we contain suffering and pain in society and metabolize it into possibility…we are the shadow parts of the collective. We tend to the root of things, to the deeply buried parts of human suffering, society, and the global consciousness – Jennifer Mullan (Decolonizing Therapy, 2023)
The work we do can be difficult, heavy, isolating as well as intuitive, rewarding, and purposeful. I offer a safe and sensitive space to hold all the complexities that may arise for you.
My main focus is creating a strong relational base where you can feel comfortable, supported, and not so alone- I'm with you every step of the way. Our meetings will typically flow organically, primarily led with what you'd like to get out of our meetings, checking in with your SEUS, and any intentions you've set out to achieve. In our meetings you'll find me in flux from: teacher, colleague, consultant, mentor, listener, co-conspirator and learner.
My hope is that we will both be open to: feeling, making mistakes, questioning, unlearning, and relearning, while being: human, accountable, political, vulnerable and most importantly, being ourselves.
•OPENING UP SPACE•
•CONNECTION•
My intention is for us to have a genuine co-working relationship where you have someone to turn to and confide in. I'm big on highlighting your triumphs and even the small wins- helping affirm that you are exactly where you are supposed to be!
