My Approach to Helping

I use a body based approach to trauma healing and nervous system regulation. I weave together culturally rich traditions with modern approaches to impact meaningful change. I work with adults looking to make sense of how the past impacts the present. I am also currently learning to support parents and children ages 0-6 through a collaborative process called Child and Parent Psychotherapy (CPP). CPP is for anyone who has ever hoped to do a better job parenting than what you’ve experienced as a child. CPP is focused on fostering a life long healthy relationship between parent and child in the face of ongoing stressors such as divorce, experiencing racism, or navigating care of a family member with chronic physical or mental illness.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

You aren’t hungry for more information, productivity, or achievement. You’re longing for a sense of belonging and safety. If you’re ready to feel more connected to the people you love and live in the knowing that you’ll be okay through life’s tests, please reach out. My style is dynamic, collaborative, and validating. I offer a warm and compassionate space grounded in consent and shared safety. I acknowledge the ways systems of oppression impact day to day life. I’ll bring knowledge to our sessions on how to move together towards liberation. Sessions are flexible and offered via telehealth and in person. I welcome first-time therapy clients and those who are tired of talk heavy approaches.
