Message to clients

Therapy with me is intentional, process-centered, and compassionate. I genuinely believe that liberation work saves us, and you are worthy of a provider who honors and respects all parts of your lived experience. I would love to connect and hear more about what you want for yourself, if things like shame, disconnection, and systemic oppression didn't get in the way.

Through an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens, my hope is for you to allow yourself to remain curious during moments of disconnect and discomfort. With that space emerges greater capacity for authenticity, embodiment, and joy. Let's get started!
