my approach
-
Collaborative - you are the expert on your life and experience
-
Intuitive - I draw on my own spiritual and meditative practices to discern the path forward
-
2SLGBTQIA+ affirming, ENM- and sex-positive - your intersecting identities are not only welcome, but encouraged to enter the healing space as we get to know all of you
-
Parts-work based - IFS and Voice Dialogue
-
Abolitionist - I minimize the involvement of the carceral state, law enforcement, and involuntary confinement while fulfilling my ethical and legal obligations
-
Practical - some change is internally based, and some change comes from our routines, habits, and communication approaches
Living is hard. Living in a world not designed for or affirming of your material needs, neurotype, gender identity, sexual identity, or spiritual path is harder.
Being a human is hard. We're all just practicing.

And Applaud
"Your attachments! My dear,
Let's not speak of those,
For Hafiz understands the sufferings
Of your heart.
Hafiz knows
The torments and the agonies
That every mind on the way to Annihilation in the Sun
Must endure.
So at night in my prayers I often stop
And ask a thousand angels to join in
And Applaud,
And Applaud
Anything,
Anything in this world
That can bring your heart comfort!"
Hafiz
