In astronomy, an eclipse occurs when one celestial body moves into the shadow of another, momentarily blocking the light. In ornithology, an eclipse refers to a bird’s molting phase—shedding old feathers to make way for new growth. These natural cycles of transformation mirror the transitions we experience in life—periods of change that can be both challenging and necessary for growth. Life is filled with both expected and unexpected transitions, and these shifts can bring distress, uncertainty, and discomfort. Yet, even in the face of adversity, we possess an innate resilience—the ability to adapt, heal, and move forward. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with nearly a decade of experience in the mental health field—and as someone in recovery—I am deeply passionate about guiding others through their own healing journeys. I understand the fear, pain, and uncertainty that can come with making changes necessary for a fulfilling, authentic life. My therapeutic approach is eclectic and tailored to each individual, recognizing that trauma can lead to ineffective coping strategies, including substance use. The connection between trauma, addiction, and other destructive patterns can leave us feeling stuck and isolated. Recovery isn’t just about overcoming past struggles—it’s about rediscovering yourself and forging a path toward a healthier, more connected life. You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Let’s work together to help you move through life’s eclipses and into your own transformation. _____________________________________________ I am a sex and body positive, LGBTQIA+ affirmative, polyamory-friendly clinician and am knowledgeable and informed with BDSM/kink, fetish, sex work, alternative sexual expression, and non-monogamy. - Certified Clinical Trauma Professional Level II - 20+ hours of Body Positive continuing education - Working towards Positive Sexuality Certification through the Center of Positive Sexuality
