About My Clients

I offer therapy to people who desire to understand, honor, and deepen their own sense of self as they move through life transitions, grief, present and past trauma, and the world’s changes. I offer therapy to people who are looking for, honoring, and protecting their communities in a changing world. If you are person of color, queer, poly, have a history of migration, have survived violence, and/or are on a birthing or family planning journey – your experiences, questions, and dreams are so welc

My Background and Approach

Therapy with me is collaborative, curious, creative, embodied, and slow. Together, we will consider how to seek, hear, and honor your own voice and body. During our sessions, I will actively listen with compassion and share skills and resources that assist you to feel rooted in yourself, in your body, in your communities, and in your ancestral connections. My practice is informed by my professional experiences and political commitments to trauma-focused healing, Black feminist theory, and queer abolitionist futures. For the past decade, I have prepared to be your therapist through my community work as a social worker, sexual and reproductive health researcher and advocate, doula, and artist.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Life is full of friction. We are both shaped and challenged by generational wisdom as well as generational trauma. We are held by bio and chosen family’s love and wounded by its ruptures. We can feel at times embodied or, instead, disconnected from our physical selves. We are rooted in cultural love while also weathering white supremacy, colonialism, and capitalism. In some parts of our lives, we are made to feel small by harm and abuse. In others, we are transformed by love that is safe and recognizes our worth. Amidst all the friction of these experiences and their effects – the falling apart and coming together again – is you. And negotiating or surviving it all is hard. As your therapist, I am here to support you as you try.
