Values
The values I bring to this work.
I am a big believer in getting clear on our values, the behaviours that support them—and the shit that gets in the way.
Playfulness
Healing doesn’t have to be sombre! Learning to practice orienting to humour, fun, comfort and pleasure can be transformative. In our time together we will explore the healing that can come from engaging in play and ways of being that feel nourishing.
Compassion
For folx who have experienced trauma, systemic oppression and marginalization, being kind to oneself might actually feel really uncomfortable if not foreign. I hope to support you in stepping into the radical practice of cultivating a more gentle relationship with yourself in all your complexity.
Authenticity
What would be possible if you could let go of who you think you are supposed to be and embrace who you are? I believe that you can build a deep trusting relationship with yourself through small moments and with patience and accountability.
Liberation
Collective liberation is made possible in part through the personal work of freeing ourselves from our indoctrination into systems of oppression. Together we can hold space for the messiness that comes with making mistakes, learning, unlearning and feeling into the full range of human experience.
Growth
Therapy and embodiment can support you in expanding into your growth edges and embracing the transformation that is possible through feeling into discomfort. I will work at your pace and support you in taking in new ways of being bit by bit.
Healing
I aim to create a trauma informed therapeutic environment for you to engage in healing. I trust that your body has the wisdom to heal and am committed to prioritising your truth, choice and sense of control throughout our work together.
