About My Clients
I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression and trauma - especially in the larger social context as I’m a politicized healer and approach therapy from an abolition stance. I have experience working with people struggling with finding purpose & meaning, identity issues, relationships and workplace difficulties. My specialization areas include eco-therapy, intergenerational trauma, attachment, social justice, nervous system and somatics. Passionate about providing trauma informed care.
My Background and Approach
I graduated in 2020 with a doctorate of psychology in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology in San Francisco. I completed my pre-doctoral internship training at California Pacific Medical Center Psychiatric Outpatient Department and post-doctoral fellowship at Sanctuary trauma treatment in New York City. Currently practicing as a Mental Health Counselor Associate while collecting hours toward licensure as a clinical psychologist, I am being supervised by Dr. Stacey Prince, PhD. As a mixed race woman of cree/nehiyaw-Métis indigenous & European settler decent, I strive to practice liberatory psychology (yes, even though it’s an oxymoron). I welcome clients who are craving a space to address the harmful impact of white supremacy culture and capitalism as an inextricable element of personal healing. This includes white identified folks seeking accountability and growth, as well as bodies of culture, mixed-race and multi-heritage folx.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I identify as a politicized healer, an auntie, daughter, partner, sister, cousin, niece, mentor, student of the circle way, friend, swimmer and gardener. These relational connections guide me - providing daily learnings, responsibilities and joy. Much of my family still lives on the indigenous homelands of the Michif Plyil & Néhiyaw-Askly ᓀᐦᐃᔭᐤ ᐊᐢᑭᕀ (Plains Cree) in Treaty 6 Territory (Alberta, Canada). I was born and raised on the stolen land of the Cost Salish Nuxwsa’7aq (Nooksack), Lhaq’temish (Lummi) & Semiahmoo peoples, colonially known as Bellingham, WA state and have recently returned after spending two decades living, learning and playing on the stolen ancestral homelands of the Ramaytush Ohlone (San Francisco). I believe therapy is sacred. I deeply value my relationships with clients. I recognize therapy is good medicine; to be in a healing relationship is to be in ceremony. It takes courage and commitment. I continue to be humbled and honored to do this work.
