Wellness philosophies are wholistic approaches that consider equally the spiritual, emotional, mental and physical aspects of the person, whereas Western psychology generally focuses on the mind and behavior, and Western medicine treats the mind and body as separate entities” (Letendre, 2002). 
— Decolonizing Trauma Work

Individual Therapy

Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical, distant, or cold.

It can be relational. Grounded. Cultural.

It can feel like taking off the masks we wear to get through the day and finally breathing.

My work is rooted in a decolonial, anti-racist, trauma-informed approach, . That’s more than language—it means I see healing as connected to story, to body, to culture, and to systems. It also means honoring history—both personal and collective—and recognizing how injustice, erasure, and survival shape the way we see ourselves.

This includes how queerness, gender, race, and migration stories intersect—and how those identities are often left out of traditional mental health spaces. In this space, they’re not just welcome—they’re held with care.Therapy can be a space to reconnect with your voice, your people, your values, and your truth.

Whether you’re showing up with anxiety, burnout, disconnection, depression, intergenerational trauma or a mix of things, therapy with me is a space to slow down and tune in.

How do we do that?

I draw from narrative therapy, psychodynamic work, trauma-informed care, somatic awareness, and culturally grounded frameworks. That means we’ll not only explore your thoughts and stories, but also pay attention to your body—what it holds, what it’s been through, and what it’s trying to tell you. My practice is shaped by years of working in community settings and by a deep respect for the ways our past—personal, familial, systemic—shows up in the present. Together, we choose an approach that honors where you’ve been and what you’re ready for.

Therapy is about meeting you where you are, with curiosity, honesty, and care.
