Burnout. Compassion fatigue. Vicarious trauma. The experiences that we have as therapists often go unacknowledged, unidentified, and untreated. I'd like to change that narrative. In my work as a therapist in high-risk, high-turnover facilities, I found that I had a passion for offering empathetic, supportive counseling to therapists and other helping professionals. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to be honored and supported in your experience as both a therapist and human.

I hold a special place in my heart for young people. I have extensive experience as a therapist and school social worker providing counseling and supportive services to adolescents who are experiencing challenges such as self-esteem and body-image issues, anxiety, depression, difficulty making friends, conflict with peers or family, low academic achievement, or just having a hard time showing up in the complex, demanding life of a teen. I would be honored to work with your young person.

Empowered. Uplifted. Elevated. This is how I believe every woman should feel. Yet so many women struggle to say no, to express their wants and needs, to take up the space they are divinely entitled to. They have been conditioned to believe that this isn't the way women should behave. But what do they say about well-behaved women? I have helped countless women move from self-sacrificing into claiming full autonomy over their lives. I'd love to help elevate, uplift, and empower you, too.

So often we seem to forget ourselves, to hold, honor, and reach out for help ourselves as therapists and healing practitioners. Whether experiencing burnout working in agencies that have unrealistic demands and impossible expectations, or feeling weighed down by the heaviness of the stories shared by your clients, or becoming disconnected from yourself because the message reinforced to helping professionals is that we should erase ourselves to do this work, you deserve a place to rest.

Together we will identify the blocks and limiting beliefs getting in your way, and help you cultivate a deeper relationship with yourself, built on compassion and love. We will work to restore your sense of self-trust and help you decipher between trauma and intuition. Let's tap into your unique gifts and passions, uncover your purpose, unlock your potential.

Guiding you out of the dark tunnel and back to your own light.

Helping you find tools to challenge anxious thoughts and cultivate inner peace so you can be fully present in your life.

Therapy can help you walk through past and present experiences so you can begin to heal. You can gain insight on the way these experiences affect your relationships with yourself and others, and learn tools to be in your life with joy and ease. Together, we can unpack life transitions, depression, anxiety, body image, attachment wounds, dating and relationships, gender identity, parenting, racial/cultural identity, friendships and belonging, and more.

I work through a holistic, relational, anti-oppressive, and intersectional feminist lens. I am deeply passionate about the healing and liberation of women and femmes. I believe that it is necessary to acknowledge oppression, colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, gender violence, and capitalism as directly complicit in our mental distress and dis-ease.

Kin from near and distant lands, we honor who and where you came from, those who came before you and the ancestor you will become, what was stolen from your lineage and what can be reclaimed, and restore your sense of connection and belonging.

Honoring, healing, and holding space for the WHOLE you.

"How would I be in my body if there was nothing to fix?"- Adrienne Maree Brown I love this quote and it is at the center of the work that I do with clients around body image. So many of us have received harmful messages from our family, culture, society, and media about how our bodies should look, how we should feel about them, and what we should do with them. I am here to help you unlearn these limiting rules and expand into acceptance and love of the body you are in.

Women, femmes, and folks who have been socialized as women even if they don't identify as a woman have been giving the same messages throughout society: you are less than, you are irrational, you are impulsive, you are incapable, you are here to give and serve, you are selfish if you want to take care of yourself. No wonder why so many women are overwhelmed, exhausted, experiencing burnout. Together we can unlearn these false messages and help you reclaim your power and divine right to life.

Sometimes we know we want to make a change, but fear, self-doubt, and limiting beliefs often hold us back. This is where a life coach comes in. Coaching offers you guidance, clarity, and loving accountability. Whether you need a gentle nudge towards that new career or city, permission to rest after burnout, or help breaking free of situations, patterns, or cycles no longer serving you, coaching might be right for you.

As therapists, we are often expected (and expect of ourselves) to always be serving. But we know that this is not sustainable and does not honor our work, our gifts, or the people we serve. I am passionate about helping fellow healers prevent or overcome burnout and find sustainable ways to be in this work with longevity. I am intimately aware of vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout and this guides my work with fellow activists and healers.
