My Approach

Through a trauma-sensitive and culturally responsive lens, I utilize a combination of the following approaches: feminist, womanist, hypnotherapy, narrative, poetry, and restorative yoga therapies into my practice. I believe that this holistic approach in addition to incorporating mindfulness and meditation not only creates a safe clinical space but inspires one to:

unearth their unapologetic uniqueness
regain their loss of self confidence and worth
discover their unknown powers or take back stolen power
lead the charge in rewriting the false narrative of themselves that was presented to them by others and society

Understanding that this is your journey, I will rely on you to guide me in tailoring your treatment in the way you feel most inspired. I am happy to introduce you to each modality throughout the course of treatment. Or you can tell me the one(s) you want us to incorporate into your treatment.
