My Positionality & Values

Positionality (n): where one is located in relation to their various social identities (gender, race, class, ethnicity, ability, geographical location, etc.)

As a non-binary, queer, neurodiverse person of color and a settler of color on unceded lands, my practice is deeply shaped by lived experience, grassroots organizing, and a commitment to anti-oppressive and decolonial ways of being. I bring to my work both an academic understanding of systemic oppression—its histories, its patterns, its entrenchment across centuries and regions—and the knowledge that comes from collective movements resisting those forces.

I believe that therapy must never place the burden of systemic harm on the individual.

The struggles we navigate are not just personal—they are shaped by the structures we exist within. In our work, we’ll contextualize your experiences on a larger scale, to ensure that you best understand what is truly within your control, and what must be grieved or accepted as being outside of it.

Therefore, we can hold accountability for the ways in which we harm one another AND we must hold accountable the systems that perpetuate this harm on a disproportionate scale.

In our work together, we will honor your experiences, validate your truths, and create space for both healing and resistance.

Therapy with me is about finding peace, grace, and love within yourself while recognizing that the world often encourages the opposite.

It is about learning to hold self-compassion in a world that demands self-doubt, about reclaiming your right to take up space, and about building the tools to move through life with greater ease and authenticity for the betterment of all.

You are the leader in this process, and I welcome your feedback, your voice, and your full self in our work together.
