Anti-racism, decolonization, and liberation-focused support
Here to support BIPOC, privilege-aware, and multicultural folks
I specialize in helping individuals and families undo the damages of colonization, resource extraction, and systemic oppression. My work is grounded in the belief that personal healing is deeply connected to collective liberation. I provide a space where we can explore how historical and present-day forces - such as racism, sexism, classism - shape your present-day mental health, relationships, and sense of self.
My private practice was established in 2017 and is rooted in 8 years of clinical training, years of post-master’s education and training, and now over a decade of practice experience.
My approach is collaborative, direct, and grounded in both compassion and accountability. Together, we will work to not only alleviate symptoms like anxiety, depression, or disconnection, but to understand their roots. We will honor the resilience of your lineage while gently unpacking the wounds that have been passed down, so you can move through the world with more clarity, authenticity, and freedom.
The weight of history is not just in textbooks; the weight of current crises are not just setting fire to the news cycle - it lives in our bodies, our families, and our minds.
Whether it’s the unspoken grief of ancestral trauma, the exhaustion of navigating systemic oppression, or the complex terrain of holding both privilege and marginalization, you don’t have to carry it alone.
Focus: Three interconnected areas
Supporting Marginalized Communities & Descendants of Colonization
If you are a person of color, Indigenous, or from a community impacted by historical oppression, our work will focus on the intersection of your mental health and systemic forces. We will explore how intergenerational trauma caused by colonization, slavery, and ongoing systemic violence shows up in your life. Together, we will:
Connect current-day struggles (anxiety, hypervigilance, grief) to historical and systemic roots.
Navigate the impacts of ongoing racism, sexism, and classism on your wellbeing.
Reclaim cultural wisdom and ancestral strength as a source of healing and resilience.
Unpacking Privilege & Racialized Dynamics
For those holding forms of racialized or systemic privilege, I offer a non-shaming and accountable space to do the essential work of unpacking what you’ve inherited. We will also explore the costs associated with such privilege on your own ancestors, family and life. This work is not about guilt, but about responsibility and integrity. We will work together to:
Identify and unroot internalized superiority and unconscious biases.
Understand how colonial dynamics may operate in your family system, relationships, and daily life.
Develop practical tools to leverage your privilege for collective change without centering yourself or burning out.
Navigating the Complexity of Multicultural & Mixed-Heritage Identities
If you come from a multicultural, mixed-race, or immigrant background, you may carry both the wounds of marginalization and the complexities of privilege simultaneously. This nuanced space can create feelings of isolation, imposter syndrome, or a sense of not belonging fully anywhere. Our work will focus on:
Holding space for the full complexity of your identity without forcing you to choose one side.
Healing the internal conflicts that arise from navigating multiple cultural worlds.
Understanding how colonization has shaped your family’s migration story and current dynamics.
Intergenerational Trauma Across All Groups
Regardless of your starting point, a central thread in my work is healing intergenerational trauma. Whether this trauma stems from colonization, forced displacement, resource extraction, or systemic oppression, we will trace its patterns to break cycles of harm and build new legacies of connection and wellbeing.
