It is no secret that we live in a society that that constantly creates barriers to people being their true selves and living joyful lives. The persistent abuse of marginalized people has grave effects on our mental and emotional well-being. It threatens our ability to survive and the dangers only escalate as more layers of marginalization are experienced such as, gender identity, sexual orientation, being disabled, and religion - among others. This daily lived experience is traumatic in and of itself. Through our partnership, we can work to heal the traumas that are inflicted while living in this society.

Firstly, to do this work, you and I must create a strong connection to one another. It is no easy task to examine the ways in which oppression and colonization have impacted our lives and how it has forced us to change from our authentic selves. Using this connection, we will explore how to reduce the harm that the “-isms” have caused. Through this exploration, we will look at historical, cultural, familial, and systemic influences in order to find their effect on your life  and work through the root causes of these obstacles.

In our time together, we will grow your confidence and knowledge of self-healing so you can take this work beyond the therapeutic space. We’ll increase the strength in your support system.  After discussing the areas in which you want change, we will work towards it as a team. Lastly, we will focus on the matters that you have control of and resources you have access to. The journey is different for each and every person, however, the end result is you feeling more at peace, grounded, and confident that you have the skills to make it through the hiccups in life.
