I’m here for the people who want to be the Main Character of their own story. I’m here for the people who want to drop the weight of what the world told them they should be and travel lightly into the adventure of being who they really are. I’m here for the people who want to stop masking and performing and just BE.

My practice is political in the sense that we will examine how the existing (and violent) power structures shape the ways we’ve had to contort and suppress ourselves in order to keep the peace. However, in my practice, privilege is not a dirty word and the goal is to amass MORE privilege so that we have more to share and uplift others with. As Toni Morrison once said, “The function of Freedom is to free somebody else”.

I’ve been a Social Worker for 15 years and have been dodging and weaving through systems of oppression and clearing paths and routes of safety for people in a variety of settings from in-home and community mental health to residential treatment. I’ve worked with clients from 6 years old to 70! I’ve worked collaboratively on multi-disciplinary teams and I’ve worked solo at my own private practice. My toolbox is highly eclectic and ranges from parts work to somatic practices, to DBT and other treasures I've collected along the way. 

I am a mixed race person who realistically has straddled different worlds my whole life. I have a deep, embodied awareness of navigating tension with tact but centering and prioritizing the long term health of the most vulnerable (least amount of power) within the dynamic. I’m a relationship auditor and will help you trim away everything that doesn’t belong to you. I’m here to teach you how to do that with both the softest compassion and fiercest loving accountability you could imagine for yourself. 

Arguably more importantly though, I’ve lived a very full and expansive life. I’ve gone down to the depths of my own Hell. I’m currently working on reaching the heights of my own Heaven! I continue to meet new parts of myself that I had to exile in order to protect from unsafe environments. I’ve lost A LOT of people, relationships, jobs, dreams, and identities that I either outgrew or were never for me in the first place. Grief is our companion on the path. 

I expect this same devotion to the work of meeting yourself more deeply. Our collaboration will only work if finding out who you are and living from your heart is the most important thing to you. It’s not to say we won’t work at a healthy and safe pace - growth REQUIRES rest and slowness -  but this isn’t the space to come for the illusion of feeling better. This isn’t the place to settle for crumbs. 

A few more things about me (serious edition): 

I’m deeply spiritual. If this bothers you or is off-putting I will not be a fit. 

I am highly intuitive and an energy worker. We will be working in worlds unseen.

I have a strong sense of boundaries and personal responsibility. I am compassionate but I will not coddle or reinforce disempowering stories about you that are not true. I work really well with people who value uncomfortable truth over comfortable lies. It’s ok if the truth stings at first but if you can’t use that sting for a greater good, you will not like my approach. 

A few more things about me (fun edition):

I love to go out and dance to Hip-Hop music, I love to travel and have spent large chunks of the last several years digital nomad-ing. I love expressing myself through digital collage and have a huge interest in Astrology and Human Design. I love being near the ocean but not in it. “The Office” has been my comfort show for the last many years and I can’t fall asleep without it (don’t tell any sleep hygiene experts!).
