My Therapy Style
I use a Strength-based, non-oppressive, anti-racist, systems approach. What does this mean? It means I believe every client is the expert in their lives and I believe it is my role to sit beside you in the journey, not tell you what to do. I will also make sure we are working to create a liberatory space together.

Get to Know Me
Why did you become a mental health professional?
I have always been called to help and support others. It started as supporting students in afterschool as a teen and eventually grew into this profession.
What book have you read more than once?
Woman on the Edge of Time as it is such a beautiful look into the cross-section of poverty, racism, patriarchy, mental health, and a sci-fi utopia.
How do you recharge?
I love being creative. That might mean some time doing arts and crafts, cooking, or even decorating.
Do you have any pets?
I have a dog and a cat, by fur babies. My favorite pet story is how I got my cat. We were looking at the shelter website and saw this adorable picture of a cat that looked like she was winking. When we got to the shelter she was known as the "feisty" one but once I asked to be with her alone she was the sweetest little thing. She was just misunderstood, as are so many of us.
