About Us

I proudly identify as a gender-fluid, mixed-race member of the LGBTQ+ community with a specialty in Race-based Stress/Trauma, Gender, and LGBTQ+ Affirmative therapy. My work is rooted in liberation theory that challenges the systems of oppression and anti-blackness that harm us individually and collectively. In addition to my work with bodies of culture, we may work together to address many of the challenges folks in the LGBTQ+ community face, such as coming out, gender exploration/expansion, social & medical transitions, internalized shame/oppression, body dysphoria and addressing symptoms related to depression, anxiety, PTSD. , " One of the first connections we lose due to traumatic experiences is the healing wisdom of the body. I use somatic psychotherapy to train the nervous system and build capacity for the deeper work of attachment repair, parts work, and trauma healing. Im a AF-EMDR practitioner, a trauma-informed yoga/mindfulness instructor, and a community resiliency trainer. ", " We all need to be seen and understood. The many voices that tell us who and what we should be can crowd out connection to the wisest parts of ourselves. I trust in each persons innate ability to heal and the drive that moves us to seek well-being, wholeness, and a sense of purpose in life. You have healing power; my role is to guide and support it. "
