Services

Due to limitations from my personal health, I have recently shifted from long-term clinical therapy work to more short-term coaching support. (If you feel iffy about that, that’s ok! Feel free to ask me more about it. I am an open book).

Disclaimer: Coaching & therapy are 2 separate things. I cannot incorporate clinical therapy into my coaching as that would be unethical. Coaching is solution-focused, concrete skill work. Though I often refer to my experience in the clinical world, I do actual coaching work more through a short-term, peer-support style lens. It is not a replacement for clinical therapy..

Expectations for clients: No eye contact required | Stimming is always welcome | You can sit or stand however you need to to be comfortable | Eating is allowed | You are able to fidget/color/knit/engage in “secondary”, non-distracting activities if it is helpful for you | whatever other support may needs arise, I am happy to accommodate best I can!

  • A little note about this part of my career:
    • When I finished my undergraduate degree, I applied to both a masters social work program & (a very progressive) seminary. I almost chose a program which offered both degrees in tandem, but landed on just social work due to my own deconstruction journey. While I no longer closely identify with the religion of my upbringing, my passion for conversations around religion, community & politics remains steady. I would love to support your journey through spiritual rediscovery, whether you want to remain a Christian, leave the church entirely or feel somewhere in the middle (as many people do!), I hold space for all of it.
