I provide online counseling sessions using Zoom.
As a therapist, I work with professional women who have chronic pain and/or chronic illnesses, many of whom have experienced some combination of being ignored, misdiagnosed, and gaslighted. I’m passionate about raising awareness of how ableism, sexism, racism, fatphobia, and various other systems of oppression affect our clients and about inspiring therapists to actively work to dismantle those systems. If you’re nodding along, we could be a good fit for supervision. I’m a feminist therapist, which means that I believe the personal is political and that I’m committed to identifying power imbalances—and eliminating them whenever possible. I’m an eclectic therapist, taking what works from several modalities and leaving the rest. I’m a bisexual cis woman. I’m a night owl, and I wilt in the heat—which I define as anything above 70 degrees. I’m an adult third culture kid (TCK) who grew up in Thailand (I did a lot of wilting in the heat as a child!), so I’m deeply familiar with the push-pull of needing frequent change and adventure while also longing for the comfort and stability of a home I never had.
The supervisor holds a lot of power over the supervisee. Even the kindest, gentlest supervisor still has that power, and it's important for me to acknowledge this imbalance upfront and keep it in mind as we go along. As a feminist supervisor, I want to collaborate with you so that you're empowered to participate equally in our work together. I'll absolutely help you learn, but I don't want this to feel like school or a performance review. If you're looking for something really structured, with tons of worksheets and formal case presentations, I won't be a good fit for you. But if you want to feel deeply supported while doing the incredibly important yet challenging work of bringing social justice into your therapy practice, I'd love to hear from you.
