About

Normative ideologies surround us. We then often see ourselves through the lens of a flaw and brokenness. These effects also lead us to negative/oppressive identity conclusions, we can feel a loss of hold on the values and competencies we practice outwardly everyday, and get lost in the things we want to change about ourselves. I work as a reflective witness, one who sees, even if you don’t, the ways you creatively get through life, one full of challenges. In my practice we work towards deep transformation, by connecting to the inherent wisdom of the body and emotion. View 4 Photos The role of the therapist is often to impart knowledge, to deploy further normalized behavior. I think of change happening differently. What we see as our internal hopes and desires, are shaped for us, by a culture with certain values and biases. The space I provide is relentless in challenging these notions towards deeper connection to your identity.
