Finding the Help You Deserve

A big, sprawling welcome to you. There is so much to say and give language to, around pain. I start by welcoming all of it, as it is, to be in the room with us. The container of our work is pieced together first with a spirit of welcome: To all the discarded, hidden, cautious, exhausted, exiled, & yearning parts of you—welcome. Welcome to your grief, rage, sadness, collapse, & joy. Welcome to your body & your story, to powerlessness & confusion. Welcome to the reality of how you experience the world. I rely on various modalities, but 3 in particular: Somatic therapy, attachment theory, & Internal Family Systems/IFS or “parts work.” I am heavily informed and guided by queer, trans, neurodiverse, feminist, and decolonial lineages. However, all are welcome in this space as they are, whether or not they identify along these lines. Nurturing your relationship to yourself with embodiment and care will be crucial to our work—often atrophy and rupture occur here, needing attention and witness. I use mindfulness, relationality, curiosity, poetry, care, and joy to guide our work together. I see the therapeutic space as an entryway to new possibilities within the self that carry profound and beautiful reverberations for the wider world.
