Therapy Approach

I believe that every single one of us carries stories that can serve as maps that guide us to a life full of inner abundance, empowerment, and peace. I also believe that our stories, whether they belong to us, our mothers, or  our grandmothers can sharpen our ability to rise above distress so that we can heal and transform into the person we want to become.

My counseling approach is rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing as well as narrative, feminist, acceptance and commitment, and solution focused therapy. Indigenous approaches as well as feminist theory allows me and you to work collectively to figure out how to best use the tools that you already carry or the tools that our community holds to reclaim agency and self-love.

​I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) as a psychotherapy approach that uses guided eye movements to help individuals process and integrate traumatic memories, reducing their emotional charge. I use this approach to support people in healing from traumatic events by facilitating the brain's natural healing processes, enabling them to gain new insights and emotional resilience.

 

As your therapist I will consider the external factors created by oppressive systems that unfortunately create barriers in your life.
