My Approach to Helping
Are you a highly sensitive person or empath & activist who's burnt out? Caring so deeply for this world, yet exasperated, despairing, overwhelmed by it all? Are you a current activist who's struggling to stay engaged with such traumatic, horrific injustice all the time? Have you been utterly broken by the genocide of Gaza, unsure what to do, where your place is?
I'm also an activist, a highly sensitive person, empath, and counselor, who's right there with you. I know what it means to feel and experience all of the above. In my work, I want to find out: how do we nourish our revolutionary spirits? How do we kindle our fire, nurture our love, for justice, for a thriving world? How do we organize, struggle, work for the transformation of society we so desperately want, in a sustainable way? How do we care for the trauma we are taking in every day?
I will provide a space where you can process your experiences, emotions, darkest thoughts and deepest longings, all with the intention of uncovering that immeasurable love at the core of you. I am ferociously anti-capitalist, anti-colonial, and anti-imperialist. I stand unequivocally with all oppressed peoples. I strongly believe in Marxism and the hope it gives us - that one day we, the people, will triumph, we will live in a global society free of force, free of subjection.
I use therapy methods that invite you to connect with your present-moment and past experience, body, attachment and relationships, creativity, strengths, losses to grieve, and gifts to share with this world. Two methods I have advanced training in & use often are Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).
