Counseling
I approach counseling from a place of curiosity and awe for the human experience.
I find the experience of asking for help to be vulnerable, brave and intuitive. As someone with lived experience accessing mental health counseling I want your desires and needs to be prioritized in our counseling sessions.
To ensure this I will start by asking what you want to get out of the counseling experience or what your goal with therapy is to ensure I support you with your deepest desires. It is important to remember that counseling is not a passive experience, rather a collaboration or dance together navigating the human experience.
I value a non- pathologizing approach to mental health and educate my clients on what my assessment means, what diagnosis might be presenting, what I notice, what intervention I am utilizing to allow for connection in your community around your own mental health. I believe this perspective contributes to community healing. I utilize yoga philosophy, mindfulness, breathing techniques and movement into my practice to build a mind body connection with breath being the anchor.
