Decolonizing the therapeutic space and removing the power dynamics in therapy are very important to me. As a result, I refer to myself and the people who receive my services as thought partners, facilitators, wounded healers, and fellow travelers. Fellow travelers might be my favorite term because it brings an imagery of us moving together through emotional states, stages in life, and relationships. 

 

To inform my practice, I use professional training, lived experience, and ongoing learning from peers in the helping profession.I consider the travelers I work with healers themselves–they have light within them that we can work together to bring out. That said, with lightwork, comes the reality of needing to address the dark stuff, the parts of ourselves that we may not like to talk about with others or even with ourselves. Our sessions hold space for all parts of you.

 

My therapeutic style, which I refer to as “cozy lightwork” is reflective of my core values which are radical self-love, anti-racism, spirituality, and transformative justice. I believe there is light within all of us, especially when we feel we are at our darkest, lowest points in life. You can refer to this light as joy, love, wellness, inner peace, spiritual health, etc.

The “cozy” piece refers to the space I share with the people receiving my services. It is not only a safe space, it is also a space where you are invited to be your authentic self and as comfortable as you see fit.
