Values & Philosophy

 

I’m a non-traditional therapist in the sense that I view therapy as a form of healing akin to healing practices present in ancient traditions, prior to the existence of formal therapy. I’m trained as both a therapist as well as a clairvoyant and energy worker. I see my role, as a healer, to connect you with your heart.

My work focuses on connecting to self through visualizations, working with color, energy healings, clairvoyant readings as well as accessing the subconscious, past lives and rituals around connecting with your inner child. I’m also trained in EMDR, and use IFS parts work in my healing practice with clients, as needed.

My practice is deeply rooted in the worldview that we are energy first. Clients that work best with me are those who are invested in seeing beyond their knowing. As a trans man and person of color, my priority is working with people in the trans community as well as BIPOC folx. I’m honored to be on this journey of healing, growth and self-discovery with you!
