“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 Cödrön

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.

I strongly believe that being seen and understood by someone is one of life’s most powerful gifts. As much as we can heal on our own, we often need our stories to be reflected back to us to recognize our own strength and inner healer. While I have expertise in psychology and can share that expertise with you, I respect you as the expert of your life.
