About My Clients

I have experience working alongside fellow Indigenous community members as well as QTBIPOC folks, complex and developmental trauma, grief, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, attachment, racial trauma and oppression, and somatic work. My practice prioritizes working with fellow Indigenous community members and QTBIPOC.

My Background and Approach

I reside on the unceded land of the Dakota People, otherwise known as Mni Sóta Maḳoce, colonially known as Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota. My approach to therapy centers consent and collaboration, as well as acknowledgement of intersecting oppressive societal structures, and the ways power dynamics show up in the mental health industrial complex. I also find my approach to therapy very much centers respect and humility. I believe we are all experts in our own experiences, thus, we are experts in knowing our own healing. Consensually, we will intentionally co-create a safe container through relational, somatic, and land-based practices to explore and get to know our inner experiences, how we relate to ourselves, our communities and the land.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I am a cat-parent, roller derby newbie, thrift store fanatic, and lover of coffee, ramen, memes, and books. Current list of books I'm reading and ones in my emotional support pile: "Year of the Tiger: An Activist's Life" by Alice Wong "Catching the Light" by Joy Harjo "Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Changing Worlds" by adrienne maree brown "Polysecure: Attachment, Trauma and Consensual Nonmonogamy" by Jessica Fern "Your Wound / My Garden" by Alok "Femme in Public" by Alok "The Red New Deal: Indigenous Action to Save Our Earth" by The Red Nation "Heart of a Shapeshifter: 2 Spirit Love Medicine" by Coyote Park
