I am a mother, creative, historian, writer, and identity navigation specialist working in the clinical mental health space. I am passionate about our pasts, our brains, anti-racism, justice, relationships, and identity. I received my Masters in Clinical Mental Health and Applied Psychology from Antioch New England. I like to take big-picture societal and systemic issues and ground them down to our everyday experiences. I believe that building strong, equitable, and informed relationships, with ourselves first, can begin to shift toxic societal narratives that have created cycles of trauma and suffering for far too long.
I work through a lens of Somatic Abolitionism, structural oppression, racial formation, and intersectional feminist theories while implementing a wide range of techniques based on client needs through radical acceptance, stress management, mindfulness, work-life balance, anti-oppression-based psychoeducation, and psychedelic integration.
I am not a traditional therapist by choice, though I was trained to be. I know that what I offer is as unique as you are. I work with transitional characters that know their growth will affect more than just themselves but radiates out - legacy. If you are committed to transformation, then I am here ready to fight in your corner for your joy and wellbeing.

We are Decolonial Therapists, meaning we seek liberation in our practice and acknowledge the wounds that colonialism has inflicted and continues to inflict on us all. We have a responsibility to find the root causes of suffering and multi-generational trauma that impacts us. We push for an accessible and liberating therapeutic experience for all who want to get free. We root our work in undoing the violence of white supremacy culture. We help you reconnect with your purpose, build the courage and emotional capacity to embody the liberatory thinking that creates a just and peaceful world for all.
