“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.

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.

“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.

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.

TELEHEALTH AND WALK-AND-TALK AVAILABLE

Supervised by Adrian Eraslan, LMFT #123936. 

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.

“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” - bell hooks

Do you sometimes wish parts of you didn't exist? Do you have a tough inner critic? Is there a part of you that you struggle to understand or are ashamed of? I welcome all of the sensitive, weird, and messy parts that you hold and will walk with you through the wilds of your life. I believe that everyone is capable of changing the stories they tell, and that doing so can bring relief and help people find connection with themselves and others. As a therapist, I prioritize a collaborative and relational approach to my work, emphasizing your unique strengths, interests, and relationships as we explore your stories together.
