How I Practice

  • "To build authentic connections, provide meaningful and individualized care, and uphold the framework of liberation."

    ___

    The field of psychotherapy has historically and continually served to uphold systems of power and oppression. These unjust systems often create the conditions for mental and emotional distress.

    "It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society."

    - J. Krishnamurti

    This is why one of Evoke's guiding values is to decolonize the experience of therapy. I strongly believe that the personal is political; therefore, therapy is inherently political. Therapy is a space where you should be able to show up fully, without fear of broaching topics that are taboo in other environments. I strive to create a non judgmental space to explore how your identities shape you.

  • There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" therapy. I strive to tailor my approach to fit the unique needs and preferences of each client I work with. My practice is integrative in nature, drawing from:

    • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

    • Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)

    • Existential Therapy

    • Anchored Relational Therapy (Formerly known as AIR Network)

    • Narrative Therapy

    • Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)

    • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

    In our work together, I hope to support you in developing insight into your internal strengths and resources in order to nurture more joy and contentment in your life.

  • I am deeply committed to supporting clients in finding authenticity, purpose, and radical hope amidst the complexities of our modern world. My approach is grounded in feminist, anti-colonial, and anti-capitalist values, which shape how I work with individuals to identify and enact meaningful changes in their lives. Over the past eight years, I have embraced diverse roles within the mental health field, all of which have enriched my ability to guide clients toward a more authentic and empowered existence.

    I thrive on working with clients at the cusp of transformative change and life transitions. It is profoundly rewarding to help individuals discover or reconnect with their core values, empowering them to become active participants in their own lives. My practice is centered on facilitating meaning-making and existential reflection, delving into the often-unspoken and overlooked aspects of our experiences.

    By providing a space where clients can explore these deeper, sometimes challenging themes, I aim to foster an environment of growth and self-discovery. I am dedicated to supporting you in navigating your unique journey, helping you to embrace your true self and engage with your life in a more intentional and fulfilling way.
