About My Clients

If you're looking for a holistic, decolonized and evidence based approach at managing your mental health symptoms, you've come to the right place. I am relational in practice and love to incorporate embodied healing and expressive arts.

My Background and Approach

Before becoming a therapist, I spent 10 years of my career providing community-based arts practice and community organizing. My approach to therapy is centered around the transformative power of creativity and connectivity. I believe that healing and growth are best achieved through breaking generational patterns, self reflection, and strengthening the skills to navigate the systems in which we live. I take a relational and evidence based approach at treatment, center your voice, and guide a process of co-creating your healing journey. As an artist, I am pulled to incorporate creative expression, culture, and somatic healing. I encourage clients to explore their inner worlds and express themselves authentically; while also establishing solid supports, and grounding awareness within the context of their lives.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Given my background in arts, advocacy and community organizing: I believe in providing support that is person-centered, trauma informed, and culturally humble. I am deeply committed to social justice and addressing systemic barriers to your health and well-being. I strive to work with clients from diverse backgrounds and to honor their unique experiences and perspectives.

I offer online counseling in the following states:
