  • As a psychotherapist and counselor focused on helping my clients heal and grow, as well as a person trying to walk my talk;
    I use cultural curiosity and understanding in my work. I recognize that people with marginalized identities face cultural violence and oppression. With an anti-racist and anti-oppression mindset, I try to create a space for empowerment and learning.

    I believe healing for marginalized individuals means reclaiming their dignity, power, and lands. Privileged individuals need to seek and practice cultural awareness and support global decolonization efforts. when change harmful behaviors. I see power inequity, systemic oppression and colonialism as real traumas folks are fighting daily and provide support for marginalized individuals as best I can.

    I affirm everyone's right to define their sexual, romantic, and gender identities, physical abilities, age, beliefs and faiths, choose supportive relationships, and explore their needs through consensual and respectful connections. My approach is inclusive of various identities, including those in polyamorous and kink communities, sex workers, and diverse gender identities.

    I recognize how my whiteness, cis gender, advanced education and other privileges shape my views. I stay curious, and continuously work to unlearn biases. I welcome feedback as a tool for growth and take responsibility for being involved in efforts against white supremacy, sexism, classism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, ageism, and xenophobia.

"Working with you has transformed my life. You have provided me with the necessary time to heal and mourn, and I will forever be grateful."
