Nice to meet you
I recognize that people’s experiences are shaped by factors such as socioeconomic status, citizenship, gender, ethnicity, and race. I use culturally informed, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive practices to support BIPOC individuals navigating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, substance use, and trauma. My approach incorporates clinical and decolonial perspectives, creating space for self-understanding, wellness, and transformative healing.
