Maybe she’s born with it! 🧠 Maybe it’s late stage capitalism. ~ you are worth so much more than your productivity ~ you need rest + care ~ you are a human being ~ not a human doing ~ you are allowed to just be ~ A social worker at ❤️🔥, my clinical approach is grounded in acknowledging the harm caused by systems of oppression + structural racism. My practice centers intersectional feminist values + disability justice. I am anti-racist + LGBTQIA+ celebratory. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇵🇸 As a therapist + human, I recognize + reflect on the privilege I hold + how this has assisted me in navigating the world. The lens I look through may be of interest to you. I am a first generation immigrant settler from The Middle East + a Person of the Global Majority (PoGM). I have a Master's Education + have benefited from class privilege. I am a neurodivergent, non-binary queer woman. I am able-bodied, chronically ill + a survivor. My practice supports gender-diverse individuals with atypical ways of thinking, feeling, relating and being in the world. I specialize in working with neurodivergent folx (many times un-diagnosed or late diagnosed) who are hyper-sensitive, self-aware, socially anxious survivors of complex trauma. My clients may experience obsessive thinking, panic attacks, existential dread, agoraphobia, a sense of impending doom, executive dysfunction + sleep disturbances. I work best with humans who are interested in understanding themselves + how their early childhood experiences shaped their relational patterns today. If we are vibing, I would be honored to support you on this journey of ✨unlearning✨🌱
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As your therapist, I will create space for you to go deeper. Whatever needs to present itself will. Therapy is a space for you and it will be what it needs to be. I am here to help you figure out what that is if you aren't sure yet. I will modify my therapeutic orientation to provide the container necessary to hold and empower you. The therapeutic bond we build is where the work starts. I serve as a warm witness as you begin the work of unlearning & healing. My approach to therapy is transpersonal, humanistic and deep. As our work together evolves, I will begin to recognize your patterns and will then inquire to see if you notice what I do. I will meet you where you're at, no matter where that is <3
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My clients describe me as calm, empowering, authentic, solution-focused + attuned. I am skilled at pattern recognition within the thinking and behavior of individuals + family systems. I have a niche interest in intergenerational trauma and understanding the behavior of different generations . Another one of my special interests is in advocacy for de-pathologizing the human experience + shifting the Mental Health Paradigm from the Disease model to Neurodiversity affirming care and language. I see my clients as the experts of their lives and provide space + compassionate inquiry to encourage introspection. I love being present as my clients experience "aha" moments and un-learn narratives + habits they developed in order to feel safe but are no longer needed to protect them. I feel my lived experience makes me a bad ass therapist. I go to therapy weekly and think everyone should. You are not broken or disordered. Nothing is wrong with you. You just haven't been given the support you need to be✨YOU✨!
