New to Grow
Hello and congratulations on this major step in your wellness journey! I prioritize services to BIPOC LGBTQIA+ individuals seeking support transforming their relational patterns while deepening understanding of self. Together we will utilize the power of relationship as a sacred tool, capable of moving us all further away from colonized markers of wellness, and closer to a version of healing rich with compassion, self-confrontation, and reverence for your personal story. Our work together will be rooted in the principles of liberation psychology and harm reduction. My aim is to amplify the innate wisdom existing in you, while guiding you towards a version of wellness that prioritizes curiosity and self-celebration!
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
Our first session will serve as a space to cultivate safety while increasing understanding of your personal story. This will be a time to move at a collaborative pace that honors the experiences that have brought you here. We'll spend time exploring past narratives, relational habits, and goals for treatment together.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My integrative approach allows me to attune to wherever you may be located on your wellness journey. You are a multi-faceted human deserving of care that engages with the nuanced intersections of your identities. My clinical perspective is rooted in liberation psychology with an emphasis on trauma informed somatic practices and relational psychoanalysis. In other words, our work together aims to honor, confront, understand, and care for the whole person that you are. My time in community mental health has informed my clinical insight, granting me the opportunity to prioritize services for folks existing at the intersection of several systemically excluded identities (i.e., clients identifying as HIV+, sex workers, 2LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, and existing with varying substance use disorders). I offer my services to individuals, couples, and all polyamorous configurations. Our work together will amplify the innate wisdom existing in you, while guiding you towards an authentic version of wellness in alignment with your goals.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is an individual eager to deconstruct old narratives, beliefs, and ideals no longer serving their personal expansion. I prioritize my services to folks existing at the intersection of one or more systemically excluded identities, such as, LGBTQIA+, Non-monogomous, and BIPOC folks.
