“Compassion is not a relationship between the healer and the wounded. It’s a relationship between equals. Only when we know our own darkness well can we become present with the darkness of others. Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.”

— Pema Chödrön

My practice is focused on supporting those using psychedelic medicine for healing. The term “psychedelic” is derived from the Greek words psyche “soul/mind” and delos “to manifest.” No matter where you are on your journey, if you are curious about exploring your inner world and creating a life that is more aligned with your soul, I am here to support you in your integration.

I am a tender-hearted, non-pathologizing psychologist committed to meeting people where they are and supporting the connection between mind, body, community, and the Earth. My therapeutic approach weaves together trauma-informed, culturally-responsive, and mindfulness-based therapies. My culture and background working with underserved populations informs my warm and emotion-focused decolonized framework, with attunement to how difficult it is to live authentic lives in the midst of systemic oppressions and violences in a complicated ecosystem.
