Healing Is Political

My approach acknowledges that healing our world from systems of oppression—colonization, patriarchy, heterosexism, white supremacy, gender and racial violence—begins by tending to the impacts of these systems in ourselves and our relationships. I support individuals to explore how these harmful conditions become internalized and perpetuated, and in turn, practice restorative and radical approaches to care that work to transform our world inside out.

The Body As A Guide Towards Healing

I assist my clients in reconnecting with their emotions in their body through somatic and mindfulness practices, enhancing self-awareness. By experiencing emotions in the body, we can observe, nurture, and transform how we carry the harm and trauma in our nervous systems. Engaging with and nurturing these emotions helps us bridge intellectual understanding with practical changes we seek in ourselves and our relationships. Clients often feel a sense of release, ease, and understanding as they learn to observe how emotions manifest in their bodies.

A Journey Towards Wholeness

I assist my clients in divesting from the capitalist and Western illusion of complete healing, guiding them to reconnect with ancestral wisdom that recognizes an individual’s inherent wisdom. I support my clients in cultivating a curious and compassionate relationship with all their feelings and different aspects of themselves. Frequently, the parts of ourselves manifesting through emotions such as rage, anger, sadness, judgement, loneliness, serve as portals to healing the underlying pain. Through this approach, one can begin to see the underlying needs trying to get met through behaviors that may no longer feel good and how they impact different aspects of daily life. This approach can offer a more sustainable way of navigating the continuous work of transformation and healing.
