Ways to Work Together

I offer a holistic, decolonial, and somatic approach to mental health and well-being.

The mental health and well-being of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) has been deeply impacted by individual, collective, historical, and cultural traumatization brought on by white supremacy and settler-colonialism.

Meaning in our work, we will honor the mind-body-spirit, and also recognize that individual wellness is inseparable from collective history. We will notice and name how systems of oppression shape your wellbeing, and honor not just the pain passed down through generations, but also the profound resilience, strength, and ancestral wisdom that lives within your lineage.

“I am an act of kneading, of uniting and joining that not only has produced both a creature of darkness and a creature of light, but also a creature that questions the definitions of light and dark and gives them new meanings.”
