My Philosophy
I believe that:
Healing comes when we have people in our lives who hold space for us, allow us to show vulnerability, offer hope, and encouragement.
We can manage almost anything if we have people in our lives to walk with us through the insurmountable circumstances that come our way.
Many of the world’s problems exist because of relationship and communication failures. Healing cannot happen without fully acknowledging what hurts, who hurt us, and how it’s impacted our lives.
We cannot consider ourselves healed until we address the ways that white supremacy culture has impacted us and how it shapes our view of ourselves and others. We must decolonize our lives, which is a lifelong process.
As your therapist, I will create a safe container to help you navigate your most vulnerable and overwhelming life circumstances. We will give voice to the parts of our lives that need witnessing, patience, and freedom from guilt, shame, and hopelessness. Contact me today to schedule a 20-minute, virtual consultation.
We should all find our voice and live in our own truth—whatever that might be.
