About the Practice
I started this practice with the intention of creating a space where people could be seen, heard, and met without judgement. In my personal therapy journey, I found it to be rather difficult to find a therapist that reflected my own social location. I wanted to work with someone who had similar experiences to my own. Someone who was queer, genderfluid, AMAB, half-Chinese, half-white, and able to have discussions with me about spirituality, kink, polyamory, alternative lifestyles, and psychedelics. Unable to find someone who met this criteria, I was left feeling disconnected from many of the more main-stream therapists that were available. In building this practice I wanted to build a space for the people who understand that sentiment and for the people who are looking to work with a clinician such as myself. This is not to say that a clinician must have all the same lived experiences as their clients, but for clients who resonate with my social location, this is a space where they can be seen in a way that might not be possible with clinicians who do not understand the social location that they come from.
That being said, Worlds Between: Psychotherapy is about the relational process. This is a space where your world and my world will meet. By showing up in therapy with me, I recognize that you are sharing your world with me. This is a sacred process, something I hold a deep respect for. It is not easy to be vulnerable and to open up to someone new. Through this process I am also sharing some of my world with you. Maybe not in a personal sense, but in a therapeutic sense where I offer my skills, my social location, and a calm nervous system to help co-regulate and hold space for what you bring to our sessions. Something that I've been working to hone and improve on for many years. The therapy space is where these two worlds meet, it is the place between your world and my world. Whether you inhabit a social location that is similar or somewhat different from mine, the relationship that develops from our interactions is unique for each of my clients and serves whatever purpose it needs to serve for what you are working through.
