OFFERING
All of you is
|
Who you are in the world is not a problem, even if you've been told repeatedly that it is. My goal is not to help you adjust to oppression, but rather to gain a sense of liberation in your own body, in your emotions, and in your relationships.
I am a nature-based mental health counselor working in the Durango, Colorado area. I am passionate about supporting others in finding their voice, their power, and a sense of true belonging within themselves and their communities. My primary desire in this work is to support you in cultivating a sense of agency and empowerment in your life. I work primarily with people who have historically not had access to inclusive and affirming mental health counseling. I also work with those struggling with difficult life transitions, grief, attachment wounds, spirituality, identity, sexuality, PTSD and C-PTSD, self-worth, depression, and anxiety. Additionally, I am dedicated to and actively engaged in anti-racist and anti-oppression work both personally & professionally. I hold a social justice lens in my work and don't shy away from acknowledging the profound psycho-spiritual impacts that the dominant culture has had on all of us, especially those who stand at the intersections of marginalization. Connection to Self, community, and the surrounding ecosystem is what I believe creates the most sustainable healing. This is especially true in a culture where so many are burdened with trauma, feelings of loneliness, depression, anxiety, isolation, and disconnection from others, themselves, and their own bodies. I approach this work with a relational, soul-centric, transpersonal, humanistic, and somatically-focused lens. I also balance using evidenced-based modalities with spiritual ways of moving through trauma, shame, internalized oppression, and grief in my work. |
