Empowering Growth
and Authenticity in Helping Professions
My practice is rooted in the belief that everyone, including those who support others professionally, is on a journey to realize their most authentic selves. Yet, it’s common to encounter challenges that hinder this journey, often in the form of societal expectations, cultural pressures, or navigating systems of oppression. It has been my experience that there is an added pressure to "one’s worth"due to the demands of their various roles, and that these pressures sometimes lead to a sense of emotional and physical exhaustion—a phenomenon Gestalt psychology describes as the experience of “fractured selves”.
I am dedicated to supporting helping professionals through supervision, consultation, training, and workshops that prioritize personal and professional authenticity. My approach acknowledges the resilience and adaptability required to navigate these challenges and focuses on building environments where individuals are empowered to integrate their diverse identities and feel celebrated in every facet of their roles. In our work together, I draw from liberatory frameworks that ensure each participant can explore their professional identity in ways that honor and integrate their unique strengths and values.
Counseling
with a Purpose
For those who seek personal growth in addition to professional development, I offer counseling
services that foster an environment of self-discovery and healing. Using an integrative, trauma-informed lens, my counseling practice supports individuals, couples, and relationships along the sexual and gender continuums, with a focus on honoring intersecting identities. Specialty areas include LGBTQIA+ concerns, minority stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, burnout, and trauma.
In all areas of my practice, I embrace Maslow’s wisdom: “One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen again and again; fear must be overcome again and again.” Please explore the resources available here and connect with me if
