About My Clients

Most of us get snagged in the ABC's of life: Acceptance, Belonging, and Choice. We may act differently than our authentic self to gain acceptance from others, make uncomfortable adjustments to feel like we belong, and limit our choices based on who chooses us. The simple truth is when we stop looking for acceptance and belonging from others, we choose and cherish ourselves and recognize that others do too. Let's explore and identify your awesomeness.

My Background and Approach

Coloring within the lines, I am versed in trauma-informed, CBT, DBT, racial and ethnic identity, and integrative theories. Lines are boring. The beauty outside of the lines reveals an eclectic approach integrating psychotherapy and clinical hypnotherapy with esoteric knowledge, including therapeutic tarot, astrology, chakras, dreamwork, enneagrams, and other amazing things. We all have different learning styles from kinetic to visual. I'll help you maximize your progress by providing you with tools that best suit you.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that the Universe has our backs and wants us to realize our potential. I believe in the power of 'rituals' and 'intentions,' which are really amazing ways to say 'practice' and 'goal-setting.' I believe that my tuxedo cat, MoonPie, is mindfulness in a fur coat. I believe that we must accept events as they happen and that we can create our experience of that event and the effect that the event has on our lives because we are innately powerful beings. My career is dedicated to communities that dominant society devalues, dismisses, and discards. I am one of those individuals; I struggled with substance abuse, suicidality, internalized homophobia, internalized racism, and mental illness. Along my healing journey, I found greater freedom along the margins. If you know what I mean, also know that you will be seen, heard, and appreciated in my care. I will reflect your strength until you see it reflected in yourself.
