As a queer, trans, disabled, diasporic therapist, I am grateful to have built a flow of practices, rituals, and care webs that have allowed for my ongoing survival and healing. In return, I find grounding and power in community care- with the hopes of offering my lived experience and held presence to be supportive in your deep dives, excavations, and loving journeys. I offer co-created, trauma-informed space to explore, play, and feel through the pain, stuckness, or uncertainty you may be experiencing. I ground and honor your lived experience through an intersectional lens, and towards collective healing and liberation.
I use Internal Family Systems, Narrative therapy, humanistic, relational, somatic informed, integrative approaches. I work with QTBIPOC and neurodivergent communities, artists / creatives, folks with disability and chronic illness, gender identity and queerness, non-normative relationships, family of origin work, complex trauma, and identity exploration.
Please don't hesitate to reach out to me, even if you're not sure about therapy (or me as a practitioner!) I'm happy to answer any questions, and offer any referrals / resources if I have them. I look forward to hearing from you!
