My approach to therapy and healing is rooted in the understanding that our experiences with systems of power and oppression, as well as the space we have to hold our pain, can deeply impact our connection to ourselves, our bodies, and our communities.
While I welcome anyone who feels called to sit together, my approach resonates most with individuals who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, survivors with C-PTSD, neurodivergent, highly sensitive and/or emotionally intense, artists, activists, immigrants, and/or children of immigrants, people who struggle with substance use and people who navigate non-ordinary states of consciousness.
It's hard to feel connected during times of crisis. Feeling lost, isolated, overwhelmed, scared and disconnected from your true self are all normal responses. I want you to know that you are not alone; you matter, no matter what you may be going through. I will meet you exactly where you are at and support you in growing towards where you want to go.
I bring my humanity first and foremost to my role as a clinician. I am not a blank slate therapist! My therapy style is highly relational, loving, intuitive, and informed by the ongoing impacts of systemic trauma on mental health. I draw from my own intuition, lived experiences, and the voices of ancestors, teachers, and dear colleagues.
