A somatic therapy and trauma resolution therapist instilled with an imperative that our communities are a reflection of each of its members. I strive to create space for accessible therapeutic health at all socioeconomic levels. Nurtured by skillful practitioners in the fields of domestic violence, homelessness, and community organizing, I acknowledge that our mental and physical wellness are deeply connected to the wellness of the systems and people around us.
