Inclusivity + justice matter.

Your experience matters

As a therapist with a degree in multicultural counseling, being culturally responsive to my clients isn’t just about checking a box of what “I should do”, it’s a passion. A passion which informs all my interactions in and outside of the therapy room. Like anyone on the journey of confronting their own privileges and oppressions, I know I will never “arrive” to a blissful, bias-free state where I no longer have to do my work. I’m in it for life, and this plays out not just in supporting individuals dismantle internalized oppression within themselves, but in dismantling systems which impact my clients and myself in dehumanizing ways.

I truly believe not one of us is free until we are all free. Simply put, my liberation is bound with yours. I don’t come from a place of helper or savior, but as a fellow human being attempting to connect and thrive in ways that reduce suffering and expand joy.

What I believe about oppression and mental health

Our families and the systems we live in impact us on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels, all of which can contribute to anxiety, overwhelm, hopelessness, and exhaustion. When we’re feeling disconnected in this way, we can feel limited in life – unable to create connection with others and feeling as though we’re just “going through the motions”.

Many of the challenges we encounter are experienced in relationship to others and our larger culture. Healing through relationship and reframing what “normal” looks like is at the core of how I understand the process of change and how I practice therapy.
