About me

I believe that we are all infinitely complex, and that our power lies in our complexity. I use Healing Justice frameworks in my therapeutic work; to me, that means that we are all capable of experiencing and causing harm, and we are all deserving of safety and dignity. I hope to co-create a therapeutic space where you can express yourself, unpack your experiences, and exist in all your complexity. My goal as a Therapist is to support you in building honest and authentic relationships – with yourself, and with the people and places around you. This work includes exploring the context behind what makes you think and feel in the ways that you do. I aim to support you to use your imagination and creativity to find your own definitions of healing and wellness, and build your own unique paths towards joyful and fulfilling lives.
