Working with me
How would you like to diversify your healing process? As I walk alongside you on yourhealing journey, I will offer a plethora of modalities to explore while supporting your process. Inaddition to talk therapy, art, writing, somatic attunement, breathwork, and sound healing will beoffered.
I am strength-based and person-centered, incorporating narrative, intersectional and womanist theories, all intertwined with solution focused and accountability. I practice holistically, providing psychoeducation about the impact of nutrition, hydration, sleep, and
movement on mental wellness. We can work with your inner child to process unresolved childhood matters, encouraging nurturing, reparenting, playfulness, laughter, creativity, and time in nature.
Helping people heal is my calling. I intuitively learned how to hold a safe space years before I knew that I would become an art psychotherapist. I have worked with people with various abilities as an art instructor, teacher’s assistant, a school secretary, employment specialist, community health and political organizer, and legal assistant. I know how critical
emotional wellness is to maintain a balanced healthy life, as I would often speak with people about personal matters impacting their lives.
As a member of a marginalized group, I was inspired to reject the mainstream oppressive narrative in my graduate research. I created a methodology for a unique group healing experience that has resulted in reprocessing and releasing destructive narratives that also
decreases symptomology of racial trauma. I work with all ages, I provide a safe space to address racism, sexism, xenophobia, homophobia, and transphobia. I can also support you with anxiety, depression, feelings of overwhelm, CPTSD, PTSD, identity matters, couples therapy, and family therapy.
Clients have described feeling empowered, excited, calm, grounded, and lighter after our sessions. If this resonates, please connect with me, I look forward to learning and growing with you.
