In a world that seems to constantly pull your energy outward in a way that doesn't serve you, this is a space where you turn inward, with intention, curiosity, and compassion. From this place you can feel confident in your innate ability to facilitate your own healing and evolution, establishing a baseline of balance and peace. Ultimately, our work together provides a container for you to get to know your personal power more intimately. I am grateful to be witness to your process as you develop a deep practice of grounded Self leadership and trust.

My aim is for you to feel safe, held, and fully witnessed in your internal and transpersonal worlds. My practice is foundationally systems oriented with a de-colonial approach to healing. I focus on integrative wellness, informed by liberation and feminist therapies. I use Somatic parts work, Narrative therapy and EMDR as tools for healing and integration.

I work with older teens and adults primarily in the queer community. I specialize in working in the realm of complex trauma, post traumatic growth, and chronic pain.

Through IFS we identify parts of you that cause internal conflict and external misalignment. We help unburden these parts by addressing their beliefs in EMDR, evolving internalized shame and worthlessness into self compassion and trust. I also use feminist and liberation based therapies to understand and deconstruct the systems that have suppressed personal and collective freedom in your life.
