I am a queer, trauma informed therapist. I place heavy emphasis on radical acceptance with all clients. My sessions are a judgement-free, fully accepting space. I also emphasize accountability and a realistic outlook on personal actions & emotions. We will work on both accepting and understanding the emotional responses happening and will work to create a more stable mental state by acknowledging when responses are based in reality vs based on internal struggles. I am a big advocate for psychoeducation, and personally find I can better process emotions and traumas when I understand the scientific basis. I will share this information to those clients who feel similarly! I have personal experience with religious trauma & will never enforce religious aspects in my sessions unless the client brings it forward as something that is helpful to them that they would like to include. I do not operate on the basis that forgiveness is required as part of processing & healing from trauma & will always hold space for the client to lead how they want the sessions to go. I have experience in a wide variety of subjects & traumas & hope you will find there is nothing you can bring to session that will surprise me or create any level of judgement. I strive to create an environment that is safe, comfortable, & welcoming. Always.
