MY PERSONAL PRACTICE:

Music moves me every day.  I'm an improvisational singer and dancer, and outside of my clinical practice, focus my creative energy on the singing ensembles and dance communities I'm a part of.  

Creating beautiful and tranquil sanctuaries through inviting interior design captivates me almost daily.  I'm an avid gardener and house plant tender, and will be happily learning to connect with plants and herbal medicine for the rest of my days. 

I harvest energy as an ambivert, swaying between social extroversion and introversion, and am a soul family tender and community cultivator. 

I've been an auntie and godmother to children for decades and enjoy young people so much that I worked in K-12 schools for 10 years. And, I chose not to be a birth mom this time around.  I've always loved cats, and currently share home with a young and wild tuxedo kitty, Cleo, whom we rescued early on in the pandemic. 

I'm white and that's an unearned privilege in this and many other countries.  I was raised to be an ally and accomplice to Black, Indigenous and People of Culture, as well as non-Christians, which is an ever widening community practice that I'm devoted to.

I have a bicultural identity.  My mom grew up in the Arctic region of rural Norway, raised us to assimilate as well as honor her culture.  I have always felt a sense of kinship with folks who have immigrated to the United States from around the globe.  
​

​My pronouns are she/her/hers and I identify as an omnisexual queer femme.  I came out in the 1980's, which was a relief having known I was a sexual minority since I was in kindergarten.  I am an ally to folx on their own sexual and gender identity journeys.

Christianity is part of my heritage but I am more deeply connected to my pre-Christian roots and the wisdom traditions of yoga and mysticism.  Early on, I was initiated into an interfaith and multi-cultural feminism, and to this day gather with women to celebrate the cycles of the earth, sun and moon, continuously uplifting one another in a culture that devalues us.  My favorite temples to visit are vast wild landscapes in nature, and I prioritize outdoor adventures, the more remote, the better, most especially, lately, on my trusty bicycle.  
​

​​Lastly, while Greta Thunberg and I may or may not be related, I share her concern about climate change, and she and others inspire me to take action in the small ways one person can, including a delicious whole food plant based diet. 

That's a snapshot about me.  Our work together is going to be focused on you or your partnership or marriage.  I encourage folks to build a team of practitioners, practices and loved ones to help them find their way through tight places and grief spaces, because being well supported lights the way and cushions in some kindness when reorienting in the dark.  There's not really one ultimate destination I can help you get to, but I would be honored to offer my gifts in service to your lifelong journey of rediscovering wholeness, moment by moment, which will ease whatever transition you're in and help you reorient your compass to presence.  Check out my contact info below to reach out.  

Blessings to you and yours,  Tatianah
