Virtual Clinician
As a super femme, queer, creative, fat and multiracial person, I have the lived experience and understanding of what it means to move through a world that feels like it was not designed for you. I understand just how exhausting and frustrating navigating these multiple marginalized identities can feel. I enjoy working with clients who are “plus sized”, from diverse cultures and backgrounds, who struggle with their body image, and who identify with the LGBTQ+ community. I would also love to help guide any fellow fat new parents on their parenting journey! I get what it can be like to feel that society does not have a space for you and I know hard it can be to create this for yourself. I would be honored to help create this space together to allow you to expand and grow.
I utilize inclusive counseling interventions that are oriented in Feminist Theory, Queer Theory, Cognitive Behavioral Theory, and Mindfulness practice. I love guiding clients toward developing an accepting and respectful relationship with themselves. Using stress management strategies, self-compassion training, expressive techniques, and self-care management I enjoy guiding clients to create space for themselves and their unique needs. I see myself as a small piece of the bridge to cultivating and nurturing your own self-understanding and self-acceptance.
My counseling style is open, supportive, strength-based, and warm. When entering into a counseling session with me, you can expect to have all of yourself respected and heard. You can expect to be heard with compassion and met where you are in your own personal journey toward mental and emotional well-being. Together we will identify and set your goals and make a plan to help you meet them.
I think more than ever, having a space that is for you - all of you – is vital to move through life feeling stable and supported. Therapy can be that space to hold all of your identities with compassion and respect while also helping you work toward your goals.
My fee for counseling is $160 for 50 minutes.
