As a BIPOC therapist, I create a decolonizing, holistic, and culturally sensitive space for healing. I have extensive experience supporting individuals who have experienced family trauma and challenges rooted in family dynamics, often shaped by colonialism, imperialism, and forced migration. I help clients navigate the complexities of their lives—whether as professionals, siblings, parents, friends, or partners—while addressing the impacts of oppressive systems.
My approach is rooted in Liberation-Based Psychology, anti-oppression, and social justice principles. I work with an intersectional lens, recognizing and honoring each individual’s unique identities and how they are shaped by and perceived in the world. My work often focuses on exploring family of origin dynamics and processing generational trauma.
I believe personal and relationship challenges are often connected to systemic oppression, social issues, and family of origin dynamics. I strive to support those navigating an unjust world by working together to create meaningful and necessary change.
