Therapy, Consultation, & Coaching

Therapy

I am a licensed marital and family therapist in the state of Tennessee, and I enjoy working with individuals, couples/relationships, families, and groups. You can learn more about my practice and contact me for therapy services via my Therapy Den profile. 

Professional Consultation

I am also available for and enjoy providing consultation space for colleagues of mine in the healing professions. All consultation fees I collect go directly to local BIPOC mutual aid. If you would like to connect for a consultation, please connect with me. I particularly enjoy offering consultation around:

• Launching a private practice

• Making transgender-affirming therapeutic environments

• Accessibility in the therapy room

• Spiritually-integrated mental health

• Feminist and other anti-oppression clinical orientations

• Navigating counseling graduate programs

Coaching

I also offer online coaching sessions to individuals, groups, and organizations across the country and world. If you think we would be a good fit for a coaching relationship, I invite you to connect with me.

Continuing Education & Training

Over the years, I have been invited to speak in a variety of clinical and educational settings about my work as a therapist. 

I have also developed a curriculum for therapists, counselors, social workers, and other helping professionals titled “Creating Transgender-Affirming Therapeutic Environments.” In this 3-hour training, participants:  

• Identify growing edges when working with transgender clients

• Learn the importance of using queer- and transgender-affirming language and practices within the therapeutic relationship

• Learn actionable best practices to incorporate into clinical settings

• Increase knowledge about transgender people in general

• Increase confidence in ability to work empathically and ethically with queer and transgender clients

• Increase confidence in ability to refer resources to queer and transgender clients

Circle Processes & Facilitation

I am a Circle facilitator and was trained by the folks at The Circle Center. I acknowledge and honor the lineage of my Circle training. I was taught by Tracy and Leigh Ann Roberts, who name their teachers and lineage here, including Tagish/T’lingit, Inupiaq Yupik, and Mohawk teachers. 

Circle can be supportive to groups in a variety of ways, including:

• Resolving conflict

• Building community

• Offering support

• Celebrating or grieving

I have experience facilitating Circle inside and outside of the non-profit industrial complex, including with:

• A faith-based mental health non-profit

• An abolitionist community-safety organization

• A non-profit providing direct social services & advocacy

• A community of transformative justice learners & practitioners

• A leftist political organization
