“A tree with strong roots laughs at storms”

~Malay Proverb

They’ve been around a while, by now. The work of therapy and counseling is no longer a new endeavor, and clinicians in their second year of associateship have sunk into their professional identities with thousands of hours of experience. Additionally, they’ve already begun the licensing exam process, focusing on cultivating the highest ethical standards of the field alongside the legal requirements of being therapists.

Thank you for being here, for taking this very large step towards your growth and towards enhancing your wellbeing. Whether you’re looking for support with a specific issue or to build on your insights and quality of life, I am here for you. I am a queer therapist and enjoy working with other LGBTQ+ individuals. I also enjoy working with adults, teens, and couples of all identities and intersections.

My interest is in getting to know you. To understand you. Not just who you are, but how you are. I believe in the process of therapy and its power, and that we engage in this process together. I trust you and your inner knowing to bring forward the aspects of you that are needing attention and care. We will discuss and explore those aspects together, looking at how and when they started, how you are experiencing them currently, and how we can increase support.

It can be quite daunting to enter therapy, especially if it's a new experience for you. I engage collaboratively with my clients to create an environment which is affirming and supportive of your personal growth.

I work relationally and empathically with folks across a wide range of identities; specializing in lgbtq+ folks including those exploring or questioning aspects of their sexual or gender identity.

My framework is social justice oriented, I'm kink and sex-worker affirming and support clients in a wide range of relationship structures.

Hello! I am a queer, nonbinary, and mixed-race clinician. My background is in college and career counseling and working with neurodivergent kids and young adults. I often incorporate mindfulness practices into my sessions to help with grounding and processing, and encourage clients to express themselves creatively in session in whatever way feels supportive to them.

“Art is not a mirror to reflect reality. It is the hammer with which we shape it.” -Bertolt Brecht

I am a commitment to queer and trans liberation and healing through the arts. I am an expressive arts therapist who uses one or more of the modalities of art, writing, drama, dance, and music. I can support you in connecting with your emotions, grounding and self-soothing, navigating mental health challenges, and growing your innate powerful resilience. I am not afraid of your fire, your passion, your pain. I would be honored to be your accomplice in making contact with your truth and inhabiting your most authentic self.

“You might say grief is the price you pay for loving something or someone, but it is also a privilege, because it is what allows authentic beauty, which isn't always pretty, but it is always truthful, to find its way through you. And this beauty medicine is what the world needs most to heal.” Toko-pa Turner, Belonging

I use a holistic and trauma informed approach using Somatic Therapy, Hakomi, Expressive Arts, Shadow and Dream work, Transpersonal Therapy, Internal Family Systems (parts therapy), Humanistic Relational Therapy, Therapeutic Yoga, Mindfulness (or Bodyfulness), Polyvagal and Nervous System Rebalancing and Depth Psychology. I work intuitively and collaboratively using a holistic, body centered approach, bringing the unconscious to consciousness, we explore returning to wholeness of self in connection to the greater world and our own lives, finding authenticity, self acceptance and love, inner alignment, purpose, embodied truth and joy in our relationships to self and other. Transforming shame into liberation, while moving out of habituated conditioning, I facilitate and hold deep space for grief, death and renewal, belonging, transformation and rites of passage.

Specializing in women's empowerment, trauma recovery, self esteem and self worth, chronic illness and cancer, belonging, body image and body shame, relationships and boundaries, anxiety and hyper-vigilance, nervous system imbalances, life transitions, highly sensitive people and empaths, people pleasing as a trauma response, intergenerational trauma, mothering and the mother wound.

Each of us is born with an innate capacity to grow, heal and even transform. 

Let’s be real though, the mere thought of flourishing can often feel out of reach or even impossible due to what we’ve been through, challenges we are navigating in real time or the thoughts and feelings that overwhelm us. Sometimes you just need someone by your side to help you untangle the knots and move through whatever is blocking your bloom. I cultivate open-hearted, supportive, embodied and creative space for people to tend to dark places, strengthen grounding roots, deepen personal insight and celebrate their growth as they move towards healing and expansion. Maybe I might be the person to hold that space for you.

Hello, Miss No Gray here. Why do I call myself Miss No Gray? I’m so glad you asked. When you mix black and white together, you get gray. Many people live in the “gray areas” because they don’t want to face their truth. Words like maybe, sometimes, pretend, make-believe, or “it’s complicated” are how questions are answered instead of saying yes or no.

I consider myself a “root” therapist because, as adults, we are the tree to our childhood. So what’s in your roots?

We cannot change past events; we can only change the impact that the past events have had on us. I’m here to support you as you discover the strength already inside you because YOU MATTER. Taking the time to read about me lets me know you are ready to begin this healing journey. So let’s remove those “roots” so those life’s weeds will never return to your garden. The journey won’t be easy, but I’m with you every step of the way!

I leave you with this quote that sums up what I believe… “I want you to get excited about who you are, what you are, what you have, and what can still be for you. I want to inspire you to see that you can go far beyond where you are right now.” — Virginia Satir

Together we will co-create a space that is safe enough to navigate transitions, and relationship challenges, at any stage of healing from trauma and maladaptive coping. I am client-centered and depth-oriented. I also employ mindfulness and systemic therapies, underpinned by a trauma-informed approach, to foster increased self-awareness and understanding in my clients. With a belief in the transformative power of therapy, I support individuals in expanding their capacity to feel, comprehend, and relate authentically to themselves and others.

My style of therapy is to let the client know that they are always in the driver’s seat. We can start and go anywhere they want, all in a warm and welcoming environment. You won’t be criticized or shamed but rather understood for having your feelings. You can come in and be yourself. We’ll have a conversation together considering you as a whole person (physical, emotional, and spiritual).

My experience as an educator with almost 20 years of experience has proved to be invaluable in relating to preteens, adolescents, and adults. I also welcome other educators navigating the unique challenges that face them.

Life unfolds and challenges arise, some clear, some mysterious. We pattern ourselves to meet them, calling on our spirits and relationships to help us grow and expand into wider, more nuanced versions of ourselves. But sometimes, the challenges come too fast, or there are too many at once, or we just aren’t ready for them. Patterns that may have served us so well under pressure can suddenly become limitations: impulses no longer feel affirming, the same relationship struggles seem to happen over and over, and difficult feelings haunt us without any obvious explanation. Our inner lives can come to feel taken over by the turmoil of navigating our environment...

...or become the well of our deepest compassion, ease, and potential. I’m eager to help you bring awareness and intention to the patterns that shape your mind and body, unearthing their hidden foundations in your story, thoughts, and movement. Our work will take place through authentic relationship, in a mutually created container where all of your many dimensions are welcomed. The demands of society often require us to hide or deny parts of ourselves; let’s build a haven of curiosity, exploration, and play where you can expand into the richness of your most complete self, and experiment with how that richness can move outward into your life. 

I’m eager to join you on your path, whether exploring new potential, or resolving old suffering.
