In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Our first session is a gentle starting point where we begin by exploring what brings you pleasure, play, or joy—an invitation to connect with what feels alive and nourishing for you—before easing into what’s bringing you to therapy, allowing us to begin building trust and curiosity together without pressure, even if you’re still finding the words. I’m a direct and grounded communicator who brings warmth, honesty, and deep respect to the process, working with consent at every step and integrating mind, body, and spirit through somatic practices, mindfulness, and intuitive tools—including my own lived experience when it feels supportive and aligned with your needs. You can expect to be met with care rather than correction, to have your identities and truths honored without question, and to move through our work at a pace that centers your voice, your wisdom, and your agency—often leading to a greater sense of grounding, connection, and capacity to navigate life with clarity, compassion, and possibility.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My greatest strengths lie in creating a space that feels deeply respectful, nonjudgmental, and grounded in your lived experience, where I bring a calm, intuitive presence and listen closely—not only to your words, but also to what your body, emotions, and silences may be expressing. I work from an abolitionist and disability justice framework that honors how systems like white supremacy, ableism, cishet-patriarchy, and capitalism impact mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. I draw from over three decades of experience in nonprofits, organizing, and carework, where I’ve learned that healing is inseparable from the social and collective conditions we move through every day. Clients who are drawn to intuitive tools can also explore tarot, oracle cards, or astrology with me by choice, and while our sessions may hold grief or depth, they’re often full of laughter too—I believe joy, humor, and a sense of connection are just as essential to the healing process. Many clients have shared that our work helps them feel more connected to themselves, more able to set boundaries, and more at home in their bodies and relationships.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Everyone comes to therapy carrying something different, and I welcome the full range of experiences, identities, and needs that people bring into the room. Healing unfolds in its own rhythm, and there’s no right way you need to arrive in order to be met with care. While each person’s path is unique, I can share some of the themes that often emerge in my work and the values that shape how I show up in relationship. I often work with people whose identities and lived experiences—chronically ill, queer, trans, disabled, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrant—are too often misunderstood or left out of traditional therapy spaces. Grounded in disability justice, abolition, and collective care, I offer a space where you don’t have to translate your reality or justify your pain—just bringing your full, honest self is more than enough for us to begin.
