Approach

My philosophy as a therapist comes out of decades of experience as a mystic and contemplative while working alongside people from different communities around the world. My approach is holistic, collaborative, culturally sensitive, trauma-sensitive and strengths based – taking into account the many elements and forces in our lives that we have to navigate even as we seek healing. Core to it is helping people reintegrate themselves and rediscover their wholeness. Just like the natural world, each person has a profound intelligence, beauty, and creativity. 

I am committed to decolonizing therapy by exploring oppression that has been culturally conditioned, resolving and healing personal and intergenerational trauma, and cultivating and strengthening resilience. Through deep listening and reflection, I help clients clarify their own thoughts, feelings, and needs with regards to their situation, and to find the path forward that feels most natural and most true to themselves. I draw on many different psycho therapeutic frameworks and tools. The developmental stage of young people is always considered, and sessions will be unique to each person. I am honored to work with individuals of all ages, identities, and backgrounds.
