Identities

---

My identities are a woven and intersecting tapestry. I am continually keeping in mind my own social locations and the way these can affect the the work that I do. I am an introvert, specifically INFJ on the Myers Briggs type indicator. I am a synesthete who experiences color and other types of sensory input in a vivid and specific way. My spiritual orientation and practice is an important part of my life. I am a white, in my early 40s, and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. I am a trauma survivor. I have experienced being both working class and middle class. I have dealt with chronic illness and chronic pain, and still do. 

I share all of this to support the counseling relationship and process.
