My scope is always informed and limited by my positionality and experience. I’m a cis-female, able-bodied, multicultural White/Native (Choctaw Nation), social worker. I grew up in Northern California in a low income, blended family with a history of dysfunction. I have experienced upward mobility privileges like higher-education and securing a “professional” middle class job.

Social identities and social power are foundational to our experiences and sense of what it means to be a person. I am constantly unlearning and re-learning how they shape me, including as a therapist and the inherent power that I hold in the relationship to those in my care.

I orient myself towards liberation, because ours is wrapped up in each others. I am rooted in trauma- informed, humanistic, and anti-oppressive approaches. I make it a priority to continually seek out further education, training, and supervision around these. I aim to take a non-judgmental lens and anti-racist actions, be queer and trans affirming, sex positive, promote body trust, and open spiritually.
