About My Clients
I work with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks who are often weighed down by past trauma, the cumulative impacts of oppression, high stress careers, and navigating complex and challenging family and personal relationships. I help my clients get back to- or find for the first time- a life that feels meaningful, engaging and enjoyable. I am trained in a variety of modalities to address trauma, work stress, cultural/racial issues, relationship and family conflict, parenting, grief, depression and anxiety.
My Background and Approach
For 15 years, I’ve worked with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ folks to rise, heal and overcome. My work uses an anti-oppression lens, and I often work with my clients to address how racism, sexism, homophobia, and other experiences of injustice impact our mental health. I’m committed to understanding the big picture context of your life—your culture, workplace, family, and community—so that the skills you build will be immediately practical in your day-to-day experience. Together, we will work holistically to find new ways to cope with life’s challenges, release past hurts & unhelpful patterns and develop a more compassionate, joyful relationship with yourself & others.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a child, I witnessed the strength and resilience of my community in the face of oppression and injustice. I became passionate about resisting and transforming social ills through political and community action. As I grew older I began to understand the impact of oppression on my physical and mental health and realized that the fight for justice needed to begin with my own healing. For me, therapy was an essential part of my journey to healing and wellness. Therapy provided a safe space for me to connect with my authentic self, my pain, unmet needs, and eventually my joy and self worth. My passion is to create more spaces for internal liberation; spaces where is it safe to be all of us; spaces where we are seen, where we can witness and be witnessed in all our divine beauty- who we are and who we are yet to become. In my spare time, I am a body positive cosplayer, Star Trek superfan, and cat enthusiast! I enjoy the creativity and imagination involved in creating a cosplay!
