My Approach to Helping

I offer trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and relational therapy rooted in liberatory and anti-colonial perspectives. My training in attachment work and interpersonal neurobiology emphasizes the importance of healthy therapeutic bonds and attunement. My goal is to create a safe container in sessions that empowers clients to do challenging but transformative work. My collaborative and eclectic approach integrates somatic practices and adapts to your needs—whether you prefer a more solution-focused style, existential exploration, or a blend of both. I believe in client led work, meaning that I trust you as the expert of your own story and that you are in control of our time together. I may provide guidance and suggestions, but I will always encourage clients to trust their own inner knowing and sense of timing in this work.

My Values as a Therapist

My practice is welcoming and safe for everyone. I am a fat-positive/body-positive provider, as well as LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and poly/kink affirming, aware, and inclusive. As a student of Collapse Psychology, I do not believe therapy alone can be a cure-all for the psychological pain we experience. Our healing is rooted in the context of relationships and community, both with humans and the more-than-human. I see therapy as a powerful tool to support ourselves in an increasingly challenging world, but acknowledge that the needs of my clients extend beyond therapy. I am always striving to grow my own skills and knowledge, engage in systemic advocacy work, and support my clients in building a holistic network of support. Whether you’ve had many counseling experiences, or this is your very first, I look forward to learning about who you are and where you want to go on your path towards healing.
