Nice to meet you

I emphasize exploration and identifying internal strengths using various modalities. My style is holistic overall while acknowledging how oppression and power dynamics affect our ability to cope adequately with daily challenges. My focus has increasingly centered on supporting individuals navigating daily struggles and helping clients process and heal from the emotional and psychological impacts of toxic work environments. I approach all aspects of their work through a trauma-informed, intersectional lens, advocating for the rights, dignity, and well-being of marginalized communities.
