Description
I work with adolescents (13+) and adults across gender and other identity spectrums who are navigating complicated emotions related to: Loss (ambiguous or tangible - grief of another’s life, of what could have been, of a changed self or loved one from illness or injury, of a former life stage or role); (dis)Ability and neurodivergence - many years experience in acquired brain injury; “burnout” or fatigue from caregiving invisibly (family, parenting) or as a professional helper; being in your body (self-image, toxic beauty standards); & reproductive health (fertility, abortion).
