If you are struggling with stress, sadness, rage, overwhelm, and loss, I can help. I work with communities experiencing the cumulative weight of racism-based and other traumas, oppression, grief, anxiety, depression, infertility, and the full spectrum of reproductive and perinatal experiences. As you move through your current struggles, would you like to work together for connection, learning, and healing? With a warm, empathic, listening, and embodied style, I focus on surfacing resilience and cultural wisdom, identifying wellness strategies and communities of support and healing, all while connecting people to necessary resources.
I use multiple pathways to healing, taking into account family, community, social, political, and economic influences on our being, thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I create space for spiritual, emotional, and physical wellness. My approach is trauma informed, parts informed, somatic, healing focused, culturally grounded, and liberation oriented.
I hold space for naming cultural wisdom, exploring the impact of oppression on BIPOC communities, and creating liberatory and healing wellness strategies. Therapy is not just providing you with solutions, it is also about supporting you in crafting your own paths and solutions. I believe that many of the answers are within you. Contact me for a consultation.
