Bio

As a clinician, I believe that every facet of your personhood matters. I work from a strength-based human-centered approach that is rooted in a culturally responsive, restorative justice, and trauma informed lens which supports all identities. Particularly, individuals with marginalized voices and intersecting identities. With compassion, openness, and gratitude, I will support you in exploring all facets of your identity while processing the challenges that affect your sense of self and may impede on your state of being. Collaboratively, will develop tools that will help you to respond to your lived experience in an equitable, inclusive, safe, and sustainable way.

Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion -Bell Hooks
