I do not bill insurance, as I aim to create a decolonized, depathologized space for my clients. Insurance requires diagnosis for payment, which can feel limiting for both client and therapist. I believe there is nothing wrong with you, and my perspective contradicts diagnostic labeling of struggles.

Finding the right therapist is essential for effective therapy. While credentials, training, and experience are important, it's equally vital to understand the therapist's energy and approach in the healing space. A supportive and resonant connection can significantly enhance your therapy process.

I work with clients desiring a compassionate and accepting space to explore all aspects of their human experience. I especially enjoy working with highly sensitive/empathic folks, and people who are exploring their spiritual identity or experiencing spiritual emergency (often misdiagnosed in western medical models). I am also available for integrating psychedelic or altered state experiences.
