milk thistle clinic
â–¾ psychotherapy â–¾
Welcome! My name is finn, and I started this practice in 2021. I am licensed and see clients virtually in both Wisconsin, where I grew up and lived for 27+ years, and Massachusetts, where I currently live. My practice is rooted in seeing and honoring the lived reality of the diverse communities I find myself in.
​
My practice is LGBTQIA+-and-neurodivergent-affirming; my clients tend to be queer folx, women, conscientious parents and caregivers, novel thinkers, disabled/chronically ill folx, survivors, creatives, and those generally looking to fortify themselves within their ecosystemic niche.
I named my practice after milk thistles because I find them to be an apt metaphor: milk thistles are underappreciated for their value and service to ecosystems, often disregarded as a prickly nuisance. They thrive in well-tread, compressed spaces and aerate the earth with their deep taproots. They produce potent detoxifying agents within their thorn-protected flowers. Like those of us humans who in one way or another live and thrive in the margins, milk thistles are an excellent symbol of resilience and remedy.
