Great to meet you!

I’m determined to hold a decolonized healing space for individuals and communities who are seeking support as they navigate the complexities of their inner world and external experiences. My passion is to serve QTBIPOC individuals and families facing unique challenges related to identity, discrimination, and systemic oppression. The focus of therapy will include: healing from past traumas, cultivating Self-Love, building resilience, skills training and establishing a sense of community.

My approach to therapy

In my practice, I take a collaborative and holistic approach. My primary modality is EMDR and incorporate elements of DBT, IFS, Motivational Interviewing and Solution Focused Therapy. I believe in the power of self-compassion, empowerment, and resilience, and I work alongside my clients to help them cultivate these qualities within themselves.

What you can expect from me

A therapeutic security from a judgment free, culturally affirming space geared towards self-healing
