It is hard to be human. It can be even harder to be human when one experiences certain forms of marginalization. This can be from simple to complex depending on identities and cultural factors such as where you were born and currently live and what kind of family arrangement and childhood environment you experience(d). Marginal identities include but are not limited to living life as and/or identifying as a person of color, mixed race, LGBTQ+, physical or emotional disability, creative types/artists, female and/or feminist, body type, adoption/foster care, “goth” “punk” “geek” “, “alternative”, to just plain feeling “ different”, “weird”, “other,” or otherwise on the outside. Incorporated in my approach to practice is the belief that marginalized identities frequently experience negative and intolerable projections by members, images, and representations of the dominant culture. In this manner, I utilize depth psychotherapy toward emphasizing human wholeness and one’s ability to find one’s own distinct path by facing what we believe is unacceptable in ourselves and others as well as gaining the ability to depersonalize aspersions that do not belong to us. I am committed to providing a safe space, free of judgement.
