ABOUT HILA

I provide consultation, psychotherapy, and educational services for relationships and individuals.

I specialize in a rainbow of neurodivergence, particularly for autistic-ADHD bodyminds.

I offer reflexive, deconstructive, and integrative guidance for life optimization, anxiety, and meaninglessness; attention to jumping class; outlaw and high risk lifestyles; non-normative families and estrangement; forgetfulness, aging, and death anxiety; and ontological insecurity. I have been facilitating the integration of consciousness-expanding experiences since before Michael Pollan thought it was cool. I work within the relationship that we build, moving at your pace, and only instigating as much as we agree to.

I am inclined toward and identify with the renegade, trickster, and Bodhisattva. I am autistic, queer, non-monogamous, white, femme-presenting, and I have been a student of meditation and yoga asana since 2002. I am from the rural Pacific Northwest, love epistemology, and I use a lot of gardening metaphors.

EDUCATION

My academic education is second to that of my lived experience. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a master’s degree in Integral Counseling Psychology. I have been trained in integrating spiritual emergence/y, altered states of consciousness (ASC), and problematic substance and pattern recovery. In my graduate practicum I supported forgetful elders and post-psychiatric hospitalization patients with varying experiences of non-consensus reality in a residential community. I am relationally rooted in community, eco, and liberation psychologies. I utilize restorative justice principles, Parts and Process Work, Gestalt, Psychodrama, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and Hakomi techniques and experiments. I use a transpersonal lens to deconstruct internalized oppression, acknowledging how one is situated in family, community, and normative expectations.
