Integrative, Somatic Therapy Rooted in Tradition and Advocacy

My therapeutic philosophy is the culmination of academic study, professional practice, and personal experiences navigating the mental health and medical systems as a ‘consumer’. These experiences led me to concentrate my therapy practice on integrative and intersectional therapy.

Formally trained in Western psychology, I have since stepped outside the colonial mental health framework to offer a more embodied, justice-rooted approach to healing. My work weaves nervous system repair with ancient wisdom traditions, including Buddhist philosophy, Chinese medicine, and animist philosophy, inviting people to reconnect with their ancestral lineages and the innate intelligence of their bodies.

Before opening private practice, my work spanned education, advocacy, and mental health, including advisory roles for American maternal health organizations, authoring the first resolution regarding maternal health to be passed by the Annual Conference of Mayors, and working in supportive housing for adults with serious mental illness in New York City.  Additionally, during my tenure as an adjunct professor at City College of New York, I lectured on attachment theory and child development.

I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology and am a licensed psychotherapist in New York and Connecticut.

I live in the Hudson Valley, on the unceded ancestral lands of the Lenape people, where I am raising my daughter to make Good Trouble.
