My Online Services
01.
I work with adult individuals and couples via a HIPAA compliant site and/or walking therapy. I utilize trauma informed, healing focused, culturally grounded, decolonizing, liberatory, spirituality aware approaches. Specifically, I am an integrative therapist who draws from liberation psychology, mindfulness, contextual cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, interpersonal therapy, multicultural family systems, and motivational interviewing to create client specific approaches to wellness.
02.
I work with groups of people through uplifting the power of storytelling, exploring and affirming stories, sharing strategies, and centering the healing power of bearing witness to one another in a supportive collective context. Each session will have activities and will be discussion based. I facilitate cycles of groups for 6-9 weeks at a time, with weekly meetings for 75 minutes per session with a maximum of 8 people per group. Groups are for adult NY residents.

I work with organizations to integrate intersectional racial equity, decolonizing, and liberatory approaches in their spaces. Using a trauma and healing informed lens, I support groups, collectives, non-profits, for-profits, colleges, and universities in addressing a range of experiences and topics integrating the individual and collective wisdom in spaces.
My trainings integrate understandings of power, bias, oppression, intersectionality, trauma, and resistance influence people, organizations, and systems. My approach to training and workshop facilitation incorporates my guiding principles: learning as a practice of liberation, intersectional and accountable approaches to analyzing power, and grounding in the needs and vision of the people most affected by systems of oppression. In the design and facilitation of trainings, I include considerations of intersectional identities, such as gender, race, class, ability, religion, citizenship, and how these identities connect to systems of power, and privilege. I incorporate individual self-reflection, small group conversations, large group engagement, group activities, and body based practices. As a facilitator, I am highly participatory, drawing on participants’ expertise, real-life case studies, and a mix of theory and practice. I am flexible and flow with what comes up for participants in trainings, while also holding onto to the purpose and goals of each training. I am experienced in working with a range of needs and utilizing my skills as a trained clinician and facilitator I can hold space for difficult conversations and support both individual and collective growth and learning.
