“Stories are powerful and have the ability to shape our lives. The stories we tell ourselves about our relationships, their effects, and their context have implications for past, present, and future actions. Together, we'll explore the narratives that shape who you are, understand how they influence your experiences, and work towards crafting a story that aligns with your values and beliefs. Working with individuals who embody various intersections of identity is a core focus of my work, with an emphasis on historically excluded individuals and communities. My goal is to provide a safe and affirming space for exploration.
As a Black genderqueer individual from the South, I recognize the rich complexity of identity and how it profoundly shapes our experiences and worldview. It is my hope to aid clients in re-authoring stories of frustration, fear, etc. into fuller stories that speak to the complexities and nuance of life while building trust, compassion, and understanding.
I am sex-positive and LGBTQIA+ affirming. Our time together will always be collaborative, client-focused, and empowering. Through our work together, I hope to help you recognize your strengths, challenge limiting beliefs, and find new ways to embrace and celebrate who you are. I would be honored to work with you.” - Kris
