What to Expect When Working with Me
When we work together, you can expect a therapeutic space that honors both your individual experiences and the broader cultural and sociopolitical contexts that shape them. I approach therapy with an integrative and relational lens, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and feminist/decolonial practices. In therapy, I hope to support not only individual healing but also a reconnection with your whole self, your community, and/or your source of meaning or spirituality.
