🐊 Hi, I’m Halle, I’m a q***r, biracial, multiethnic (Creole, African American, & Slavic), chronically ill person who comes from a long line of survivors.

I’m that ✨Anxiety Therapist ✨ who works with high-achieving overthinkers and the “only ones” in their family trees who want to occupy space without an apology or a pleasing performance.

If you’re looking for a space to get back in touch with your own curiosity I’m hosting a (free) Summer Solstice Reset - it’s a mid-year goal reflection and reconnection workshop for folks whose 2026 has felt like an unholy mashup of Final Destination and The Purge so we can feel more hopeful about the remaining 6 months of the year.

🗓️ June 21st (the actual summer solstice!)
💻 Private Zoom call
⏰ 11 AM MST

And it’s FREE! Comment ‘SUMMER’ and I’ll DM you the link.

June 21st is my January 1st... let me explain ↓

“New Year, New Me” isn’t the most neuroaffirming, which is a big problem for me as an autistic person!

Personally, transitions are hard for me. And being expected to overhaul my habits and routines at the start of a new year and in the middle of winter just isn’t gonna happen. I need time and space to not only get through the winter season, but to slowly enter the spring months with some ideas of what I *might* want to tinker with over the summer and beyond.

Even in my 1:1 work with anxiety and trauma therapy clients, we talk about setting goals seasonally and/or in line with the lunar cycle. So instead of looking at the ENTIRE year (which feels like a lot of pressure tbh), we’re looking at 30-90 day intervals.

Not only has this helped goal setting feel more approachable, but it’s reconnected them to the natural world.

And on June 21st, I’m hosting a (free!) Summer Solstice Reset - it’s a mid-year goal reflection and reconnection workshop for folks whose 2026 has felt like an unholy mashup of Final Destination and The Purge so we can feel more hopeful about the remaining 6 months of the year.

“🍃 We’re nearly halfway through 2026 (WTF), and I don’t know about you, but my New Year’s resolutions are looking a bit... well... un-ticked.

So I’m hosting a (free) Summer Solstice Reset - it’s a mid-year goal reflection and reconnection workshop for folks whose 2026 has felt like an unholy mashup of Final Destination and The Purge so we can feel more hopeful about the remaining 6 months of the year.

Did you know that the Summer Solstice marks the exact halfway point of the year?

During the call we’ll explore:

The basic principles of animism and how they apply to relationship-building

Rituals for acknowledging what’s been challenging this year

More-than-human relationships you already have and how to nurture them

Practices for moving through the rest of the year with a steadier foundation

And by the end you’ll have a renewed sense of curiosity about the rest of 2026 (and maybe even some hope)!

I’m so excited to host this call! Drop me a DM if you have any q’s!

P.S. I’m a licensed anxiety therapist who works adults who are navigating q***r and biracial identities, deconstructing religion, and who are learning to live (and dare I say thrive) with their anxiety.

While there won’t be any 1:1 therapy on this group call, you will get a safe, guided space to plan your next 6 months, and if you decide you’d like to work with me 1:1, I’ll show you how to do that, too).

I stayed up wayyyy past my bedtime reading these. 😅

But they were all SO worth it:

1. Greedy by Callie Kazumi
2. The Burial Tide by Neil Sharpson
3. The Black Hunger by Nicholas Pullen
4. Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher
6. Ecstasy by Ivy Pochoda

Which of these have you read?? And which are you adding to your TBR list?

If you’re seconding guessing your identity since leaving the church, and feel tethered to some of the religious ideas that you spent years learning.

I’ve worked with over 300 clients for the last 9 years on unraveling outdated messaging about who they’re supposed to be.

And as the only biracial and q***r person in my family, and one of the only ones to leave the Catholic Church,

I’d love to help you navigate this.

If you’re looking for a safe space to reconstruct, and then build a relationship with god on your own terms - or just find your own spiritual journey.

My books are open for new 1:1 clients!

I’m currently accepting clients located in Colorado and Oregon.

Listen to these when you miss your old Church community, but know you can never go back.

I’ve written the voicenotes down here too if you can’t swipe through rn:

Slide 1: Hey there, it’s Halle. I know you’re hurting right now and it makes complete sense. As good as it can feel to step away from something that’s been hurting you, I also know we really don’t talk enough about the grief involved with leaving the church and how it feels to miss a place that caused so much pain in your life. 

But I’m just here to remind you: you can feel really empowered by your choice to leave and also be experiencing the profound loss of that sense of community. 

Slide 2: I know that doesn’t do anything to fix the harm that was caused, but from the bottom of my heart I am so sorry that someone weaponized the scripture against you to make you feel like being q***r was a sin or something to be ashamed of.

Because it is not. Your q***rness is holy and I will remind you of that as often and as many times as you need me too.

Slide 3: And you can have that on your terms because contrary to what you may have been told by the church, God cannot be gatekept. 

You can have your relationship to God in a way that not only a firms, your identity and all that you are, but in a way that feels truly nourishing and saved, and I am here to support you with that.

Folk horror is my happy place

And it was SO HARD to narrow this list down. 😅

I love the ways that folk horror questions how modernity/mainstream culture try to override traditional practices.

But I also love seeing how isolation influences what people perceive (within themselves, others, and the land around them).

Some of my favorites (in no particular order): 

1. Lamb
2. The Devil’s Bath
3. Mother of Flies
4. The Ritual
5. Lord of Misrule
6. Midsommar
7. Jug Face
8. Moloch
9. Mandrake
10. The Wicker Man
11. Seeding
12. Apostle
13. Incantation
14. Bring Her Back
15. Pyewacket
16. Fréwaka
17. Starve Acre

Let me know which of these you’ve seen! Or if you have a favorite that’s not on my list, tell me about it!
