Whether you are preparing to become a parent, navigating the complexities of pregnancy and postpartum, healing from trauma, or seeking clarity in the midst of a significant life transition, therapy can offer space for a slower, more intentional pace within a culture that often demands urgency; for reconnection to self; for radical imagination; and for momentum toward a more grounded life.
My approach is rooted in healing justice, recognizing that our mental health and well-being are deeply shaped by our relationships, communities, lineages, and the systems we navigate. I honor the breadth of your lived experience within our space.
I specialize in supporting Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (QTBIPOC) communities and those navigating family planning and parenthood.
I also support those moving through complicated grief, survivors of intimate partner violence, narcissistic abuse, and child sexual abuse, with attention to how these experiences shape our relationships.
As a licensed clinical social worker, healing justice practitioner, circle keeper, and perinatal mental health therapist, I draw from decolonial, trauma-informed, relational, somatic, ancestral, and culturally aligned approaches. I am honored to support others in reclaiming their stories and cultivating lives that feel more authentic, connected, and whole.

Groups
Healing and Liberation Group for BIPOC Survivors
This is a therapeutic healing space for survivors of color (centering the experiences of queer, trans, two-spirit and gender non-conforming and who have moved through childhood sexual trauma and/ or intimate partner violence in adulthood). This space takes place over the duration of 8-weeks and will infuse a culmination of ancestral healing modalities, such as storytelling, circle practice, expressive arts, and plant medicine alongside trauma-informed intervention tools. Some topics to be explored throughout our time together will include navigating relationships and intimacy; re-connecting to/ re-envisioning our relationship to our bodies; and honoring personal boundaries.
