I offer a safe and affirming space for you to take up space, find more pleasure, heal old wounds, and know yourself. I help individuals and couples center and communicate wants and needs, find curiosity where there is judgement, and cultivate meaning through self-love and connection. I teach how to listen to one’s body to notice and pursue what feels easeful and regulate and diminish what feels overwhelming. I challenge harmful narratives rooted in oppressive social and cultural norms and offer a unique vocabulary of pleasure and healing. Twenty years of helping refugees start new lives in the U.S. through international and domestic humanitarian work informs my holistic approach. I am radically inclusive, culturally humble, and trauma-informed. I want to help you feel whole and alive.
