My approach to therapy is creating a safe and compassionate space where people feel comfortable sharing their stories. I do this by using narrative therapy along with somatic and internal family systems informed approaches. I’m also trained (level 1) in Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). I have experience providing therapy to people from many walks of life with a passion for serving the BIPOC community who are wanting to focus on healing from the impacts of trauma, PTSD, loss and grief, depression, anxiety, and a sense of low self-esteem.

I believe that everyone can explore internally and foster potential to create a brighter outlook of life. Through open-minded and non-judgmental collaboration, I work with many individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, interpersonal, family dynamic issues, career concerns, trauma, grief, parenting, and body image issues. Almost 20 years of experience, I assist children, adults, families, and couples exploring self-understanding, identifying emotional and behavioral patterns, develop new perspectives and emotion and stress management skills, making meaningful interpersonal connections, and making career decisions.

I center my work with Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) persons at their intersections, most often LGBTQA+, artists, activists, deep seekers, and other healers. Many have a strong spiritual connection to their current obstacles and are willing to integrate that into their treatment. Presenting concerns range from racial trauma to life transitions, grief to identity. There is an understanding that what is presenting is not a problem, where the goal is creating more space around struggles, creating more options, finding a different perspective, and Being more fully.

Welcome to my page and congratulations on taking the first step towards investing in your well-being. I hope to hear from you. Human experiences such as anxiety, depression, grief and loss, life transitions, family of origin issues, relational issues, trauma, abuse, and neglect can often lead to feelings of being stuck, social isolation, struggles with meaning making and spirituality, unmet needs, lack of self-awareness, incongruence, and hopelessness. Counseling can be an amazing resource in such times because we all deserve to be heard and seen in a safe place.

Compassionate care in less than compassionate times calls for those who seek healing to step forward through fear and enter bravely into their path of wellness. I walk with clients in a completely different way than "traditional therapy," while still maintaining the spirit of the profession. I am able to navigate a wide myriad of issues with people from all backgrounds, religions and identities. I continue to work in an Indigenous community setting where I have spent my entire career humbly experiencing the impact of all l serve.

I work with people struggling with feelings of emptiness and overwhelm, seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, and hoping to integrate their self-awareness with their behavior and habits. We will explore your past experiences, relationships, and internal systems of values and beliefs to generate insight and movement into the places you feel stuck. I will attend to the details, emotions, and patterns you bring into the therapy room and work with you to create new meanings in familiar places. I am experienced in working with trauma, neurodiversity, and the LGBTQ+ and kink communities.

If you're feeling stuck, anxious or overwhelmed, lonely or depressed, you may not realize that you already have what you need to endure what challenges you are facing and improve your sense of fulfillment in life. With the right guidance in therapy you can begin to generate insights that naturally broaden your perspective, that support you to reconcile rather than simply solve your problems with an unsustainable quick fix. With consistent practice, you can become more mindful and less prone to jumping to the same conclusions. Better yet, you'll get to decide how you want to live based on your own personal values and chosen identity.

I've worked extensively with trauma survivors to help them find healing from their past, and to begin creating a life worth living for themselves in the present. I became a therapist because I wanted to work with clients who had experienced trauma, and while I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, I have worked successfully with clients from numerous backgrounds.

Wanting to be loved and accepted doesn’t make you needy, or extra, or selfish, or weak. It makes you human.

I use playfulness, curiosity, creativity, and laughter to support the therapy process and I prioritize taking time to get to know you and what's important to you.

Grief Therapists
How long does therapy take for grief?
There is no exact timeline for grief counseling. Some people may start to feel better after just a few sessions, while others may take months or longer to feel relief. Some specific approaches, including some types of CBT, may involve a set number of sessions, or therapy may be open-ended until the patient determines they are ready to wrap up. Just as there is no right or wrong way to grieve, there is no right or wrong way to seek therapy for grief.
When should you seek therapy for grief?
Many people mistakenly believe that their grief needs to be debilitating or all-encompassing to warrant therapy. This is not the case. While people who experience severe, prolonged grief—particularly those who are considering self-harm or engaging in unhealthy substance use—are especially likely to benefit from therapy, so too are people whose grief is less intense but still interfering with well-being or daily functioning. In practice, almost anyone struggling to process a loss could benefit from grief counseling.
Can grief be managed without therapy?
Oftentimes, yes. Grief is a near-universal part of being human, and many find that their grief, while profound, does not stop them from participating in day-to-day life and steadily eases over time without outside help. For others, however, the harsh pain of early grief persists for months or years or leaves them unable to function. This group is especially likely to benefit from seeing a therapist, who can guide them through their grief and help them reconnect with the world.
What happens if grief is left untreated?
Because grief does not in itself necessitate therapy, untreated grief will often resolve on its own. However, for some people—particularly those who would qualify for a diagnosis of prolonged grief disorder—untreated grief can be a source of seemingly endless pain or lead them to withdraw from the world. In such cases, treatment can be indispensable, as it can help an individual adapt to the loss and start living again.
