My ultimate goal as a therapist is to care for and about you so you may care for and about those around you
The question you’ll probably hear me ask the most in our work is, “Where do you feel that in your body?” Contemporary Western traditions have only somewhat recently come around to the fact that our bodies and minds are not separate and distinct from each other, but rather deeply intertwined. The term “bodymind” was first coined in the 1980s in the context of Buddhist studies (Shaner), and came up again in the 2010s in the context of disability studies (Price) to more precisely describe that one cannot be experienced or understood without the other. It’s my hope to get everyone I work with as reacquainted and familiar with “the body” part of their bodyminds as much as possible.
Outside the individual body, our experiences and environment play a key role in shaping who we are, and are often the sources of our problems and of disability. Gender, class, race, and trauma are just some of the things I believe impact our bodyminds and well-being. I take a holistic approach to counseling, applying a trauma-focused and social model of disability lens to my practice in order to define and address concerns.
Whether you’re dealing with transitions, grief, non-traditional or non-conforming identity or relationship issues, processing personal, generational, or systemic trauma, I would be honored to witness and move alongside you.
