Hey! I’m Lilly. My main focus is to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
Guided by anti-oppression in the mission for safe and accessible care.
I know personally how distancing intersectionalities can be, especially in therapy. In my sessions, my greatest intention is for you to be truly known. As a Queer, Black, biracial person, I deeply honor the value in access to care that is centered around autonomy, safety, and non-judgement. My mission in our sessions is to nurture that safety, as well as strength and curiosity, providing a space for your meaningful self-understanding and growth.
My personal approach centers on presence, and anchoring in what’s going on in the moment as we explore lingering past experiences. In-session, I am oriented around compassion as we notice thought patterns, physical sensations, and anything else that’s happening in our bodies and our minds. I’m also a yoga instructor, and I integrate yogic and somatic therapy principles into sessions. To your level of comfort, we might be using breathwork, grounding practices, and other exercises in a session to help bring clarity and groundedness into our work.
In both my work and personal life, I am committed to anti-oppression, and I believe it is my honor and responsibility to advocate for clients to my highest capacity. Some of my areas of speciality are sexual violence, trauma and PTSD, racial stress, gender identity exploration, and substance use.
The therapeutic space is what you make it, and it’s important that you feel safe and supported in it. Feel free to reach out and see if we’re the right fit for what you’re looking for 🙂
