As a therapist and social worker, I believe our experiences shape us individually and collectively, and that healing within ourselves can strengthen our relationships and communities. With a social-justice approach centering inclusivity, anti-racism, and anti-capitalism, our work is guided toward growth that honors both your inner life and your connection to the greater whole.
My hope for our time together is to collaboratively discover your most authentic self, allowing the core of who you are to guide your healing journey. If you are seeking personal, communal, and spiritual growth, I would be honored to walk alongside you.
