About Us

In my work as a mental health counselor and art therapist, I help adults who experience anxiety and depression; chronic stress, burnout, and imposter syndrome; LGBTQIA+ issues; dis/ability and chronic illness and the impact of medical conditions on mental health; and intersecting issues related to cultural and social identity. I also support people in exploring how their health is impacted by economic, political, cultural, and historical conditions. I bring a collaborative approach, rooted in liberation and creativity, to guide you in healing and making changes. , In your therapy, we might work through talking, using somatic approaches (like mindfulness or breathing exercises), using EMDR therapy, and/or bringing art making into our work—and we’ll work to find the right balance of these options for you. My approach to therapy is trauma-sensitive, culturally responsive, identity affirming and rooted in social justice. , I believe that cultural humility and accountability are essential to my work as a therapist. I seek to affirm all facets of your identity and to create a space where you don’t feel like you need to justify elements of yourself and your experience. I strive to provide a collaborative and justice-oriented space for healing, growth, and transformation to occur.
