Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
I work with individuals, families, and/or systems who find themselves 'stuck'. I work from an inclusive and eclectic framework which allows me to work from the outside or join, as needed, to move past the 'stuck' points. I recently took steps towards physical gender affirming transition. Those who have known me these 13+ years in the field will find this a step in learning and growing with me; those who have heard my name as a recommendation will also find this a step in learning and growing. To learn is to grow; to grow is to be alive! View 4 Photos My specialty is Second Order Change. This can be done in a multitude of fashions from talk therapy alone to task assigned interventions. The role is to interrupt one's narrative feedback loop which keeps them closed and inflexible. As a queer professional, my focus is on building networks of resources externally 'and' internally. The first step: to honor one's own vulnerability with pride. Foundations in my practice: 1. if we never fail in our endeavors, we are risking our own growth; 2. discomfort is where we find our strengths and, in discomfort, we live and thrive.
