My Approach to Helping

I am not your traditional therapist. Working with me is a collaborative experience. I do not use medical jargon to label clients and only use it when absolutely necessary. I have a non-judgmental approach and a focus on identifying your underlying goals. I am good at listening and helping to guide you as you explore and uncover the emotions connected to events in your life. I am a Social Worker before a therapist, so I understand the interconnectedness of family systems, culture, oppression, and our ever changing environment. If you have tried therapy in the past and it wasn’t a good fit, or you are looking for something different, we might be a good fit.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My practice is rooted in advocating for equity and social justice. I strive to counter inequitable systems and to reframe and heal internalized oppression and generational trauma. My commitment to anti-racism means continually using power and privilege to dismantle racist policies and practices while advocating for equitable resources.
