I take a decolonized approach to therapy and work with folks from marginalized locations, including folx from intersectional identities. I believe in empowering clients to tap into their innate wisdom and validate their expertise in the experience of their own lives. We explore what has worked, what is tolerable, and what needs to be changed. Healing begins in relationship to one another. Therapy, in my opinion, models a way to be in healthy relationship. I aim to provide a safe environment to allow the parts of yourself that are in conflict with one another to emerge, to listen, and to learn from each other.

“Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.” – Alan Watts. Sounds pretty pointless and dumb to me (and probably to dentists everywhere). Attempting to work on yourself alone only takes you so far and really drags out the Suffer-Fest. That’s what therapy is all about; an unbiased, collaborative relationship, preferably with someone who actually gives a shit (me, hi), that can help you to understand and accept yourself fully.

You have felt pressure your whole life. Maybe it was pressure from your family: pressure to succeed, a parent’s expectations to live up to, a family culture where you never felt good enough, or pressure to be someone you were not. Or maybe you have put pressure on yourself: to make others happy (often sacrificing your own happiness), to never let others down, to always excel and achieve, or to not take up too much space in the world. You’re exhausted and you wish you could just turn off the noise in your head: the self-criticism, the worry, or the feelings of uncertainty. You want to feel free to live life on your terms.

Trauma is inevitable, but it does not have to overshadow our entire lives. I work with folks who have experienced trauma of all kinds and are interested in leaving behind the habits, patterns, and feelings that no longer serve them. Whether your trauma was acute, such as accident or loss, or longstanding, such as abuse from parents or partners, my work is to help folks rediscover their inherent ability to feel safe, connected, and capable. My work is nestled in understanding of how our social, political, and economic conditions lead to passing on trauma and distress.
