Are you an activist, healer, trauma survivor, or person in recovery seeking a supportive, non-judgmental space to learn how to cultivate internal safety? If you routinely care for others at your own expense, struggle to balance self-care with community care, or want a therapist who recognizes and addresses oppressive systems, my liberation-focused, EMDR-trained approach may be the right fit for you.
I offer virtual individual therapy. I integrate EMDR, somatic based approaches, harm reduction, alongside creative, and strength based interventions through a decolonized perspective to support individuals in reclaiming their lives and bodies.
There is no shame in asking for help. My purpose is to help, not to judge. If you would like to learn more please reach out to set up a free consultation call. I look forward to hearing from you!
