My clients explore what feels true.

Come to therapy as you are. Together we will cultivate a safe space of healing, vulnerability and self-exploration. 

I will be by your side as your witness and guide. I believe difficult feelings — shame, sadness, anxiety, guilt, unworthiness, fear, anger, doubt, rage, and loneliness—are the doorway to embracing your whole self. Therapy will involve exploring the parts of yourself that may feel vulnerable to explore. The reward will be acceptance of your humanity. Together, we identify and embrace the parts of you that feel most true.

Our bodies are a key to healing the mind, body and spirit

My therapy involves developing a relationship with your body. Our bodies are a portal to navigate our feelings and unearth the experiences that have made us who we are. I will work collaboratively with you to help you follow the senses and signals of your body in order to integrate your healing through your mind, body, and spirit. I will encourage you to befriend uncomfortable feelings and sensations to access the traumas, attachments, and emotional wounds stored in your body. This will involve learning to lean into discomfort to work through the pain stored in our bodies and selves. 

My approach honors your experiences and identities

All experiences and identities must have space to be explored, honored, and witnessed in their wholeness. By teasing out the intersecting threads of racism, xenophobia, white supremacy, colonialism, gender and sexual identity oppression, and body discrimination, and among others, I will make space for you to embody all parts of yourself. Witnessing this process is a privilege and honor.
