About My Clients

You need a safe space to express your thoughts and feelings without filters. You feel alone or uncertain about your next steps. You long for a space where you can put down the armor or masks that you wear to get through the day. Please know that we understand and are ready to witness your unedited truth. Our empathetic and skilled therapists are here to co-create a space just for you. We will meet you where you are and help you navigate the difficulties, confusion, and une

My Background and Approach

Our team approaches each client's unique situation with compassion, empathy, and a non-judgmental attitude, creating a safe space for you to explore your feelings and thoughts. We offer a variety of therapeutic approaches to support you through this process, including Expressive Arts, Relational psychotherapy, Trauma-informed Therapies (including EMDR and Brainspotting), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

We are wired for connection. Systems of oppression in all its forms seek to isolate and break our connections to one another. Kinship Counseling Collective is the way that many cultures survived and navigated the impacts of oppression. These unique bonds transcend blood ties and family of origin and stretch across various identities and ways of being. Forming a collective is counter to the isolation & competition that results from oppression/our dominant culture; the action of building trust and being trustworthy, connected, supported & accountable.
