“The only thing constant is change.” - Octavia Butler.

If you’re standing at the threshold of change and you’re looking for someone to accompany you through the uncertainty, fear, grief, exhaustion, and ever-changing emotional landscape as you reconnect with yourself and find your way to a new normal, I’m so glad you found me.

My job is to listen and support you to trust your truth and inner guidance. Together, we go deep to understand and unravel the systemic, cultural, family, and personal patterns that brought you here to this moment, envision who and how you want to be moving forward, and create grounded, doable steps towards a more authentic way of being.   

I believe you can create your own path without sacrificing belonging, and practice presence without perfection.

Working with me might be a good fit if you’d like to try an embodied, creative, decolonized approach to therapy or you want to process and better understand the experiences you don’t always have words for.

A few things that might be helpful for you to know about me:

I specialize in working with folks who are experiencing life, role, and identity transitions, perimenopause, chronic illness, and professional & informal caregivers. I tend to have the best rapport with folks who hold any or all of the following identities: neurodivergent, highly sensitive, LGBTQIA+, non-binary & genderqueer, and/or People of the Global Majority (racialized identities). I offer identity-affirming therapy.

My core values are Liberation, Trust, Embodiment, and Wonder. I support diverse spiritual beliefs on a spectrum from agnostic to devout; your well-in-spirit ancestors and/or astrology forecast are welcome, but not required.

I’ve been working in holistic healing and wellness spaces since 2007 and have over a decade of previous somatic and trauma-informed experience. I bring a decolonized, transpersonal, feminist, parts-informed, existential approach to art therapy.

You don’t have to be an artist to benefit from this approach; creative curiosity and openness to what might be possible are good enough.h; creative curiosity and openness to what might be possible is good enough.
