I welcome clients who see themselves aligned with values in my profile, especially those who seeking a better therapy experience grounded in emotional connection, social justice, and authenticity. Therapy has the potential to be incredibly healing, but also comes from a history of harm, having othered people on the basis of age, race, gender, sexuality, spirituality, and disability. I offer a trauma-responsive relationship through which we can explore narrative healing of your authentic self, commitments to anti-oppressive and anti-racist living, anti-adultist parenting support, and supportive community and relationship building.
As an Associate Instructional Professor at the University of Chicago Crown Family School of Social Work, I integrate social work theory into practice, utilizing a harm reduction, anti-oppressive, anti-adultist, trauma-lens rooted in transformative justice. I offer therapy and consultation to BIPOC folks of all ages, sexuality, gender, and spirituality.
I am a bicultural, bilingual individual who has lived and worked in the US and abroad, for 25 years. What I have learned is that no matter where people come from, they want to live the best way possible, and understand themselves within their own environment. Working within your culture and beliefs, we can evolve in a way that centers your authentic self.
