About My Clients

In a world shaped by corrupt capitalism, white supremacy, ableism, and patriarchal oppression, my values are grounded in resistance and radical empathy. As a disabled, queer woman of color, I understand the profound impact these systems have on marginalized communities, both personally and professionally. My commitment is to hold space for those who are often overlooked, providing a sanctuary where their experiences are validated and their identities affirmed.

My Background and Approach

I believe healing is inherently political, and to foster true well-being, we must confront and dismantle the oppressive structures that harm us. In my practice, I apply these values by creating an inclusive and supportive environment where clients can safely explore their identities, desires, and traumas. I strive to empower individuals by acknowledging their resilience and guiding them toward self-compassion and self-advocacy. Healing, for me, is a collaborative journey that not only seeks individual growth but also contributes to broader societal change.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

With a professional background enriched by my personal journey as a disabled, queer woman of color, I am deeply committed to holding affirming, non-judgmental spaces for queer, neurodivergent, BIPOC, and other marginalized individuals. My practice centers on creating a compassionate environment where vulnerability and authenticity are embraced, allowing clients to explore their identities and desires with courage. I strive to foster growth and healing through a lens of intersectionality and inclusivity.
