GLOBAL DECOLONIAL PRACTICE
Therapeutic Engagement, Practice, and Education for Whole-Person Mental Health Fitness
To the willing ones. To the dear beautiful souls. To the heartbroken humans aching for better days.
To the indignantly aggrieved and righteous enraged. To the fierce warriors waging peace.
To the change leaders and good trouble makers. To those who dare to dream.
And to those finding our way back to dreaming.
It is a miracle you are here. You made it to today. Still alive and surviving.
And every moment, still arriving.
Here is the garden where we can tend with less toil.
Even fragmented horror, grief, and numbing loneliness can be compost.
Remember the grounds upon which you stand.
Express your unique unfurling expression of life,
from wholeness, awe, joy, wonder and love.
Welling up from the bottom of your heart, sense, feel and know it in your gut.
In the core of your being,
behold your most precious offering.
Would you rest in knowing?
The simple treasures in welcome and belonging
The world needs your presence, compassion, and understanding,
and so do you.
So. Do. You.
You have the power to tend to deepest wounds. You can transform suffering. You can truly live.

FAQs
what is the process to starting therapy?
A 15 to 30 minute consultation gives me an opportunity to learn about you, what you want from therapy and you get a feel for how I show up as a therapist and if there’s mutual affinities.
We’ll go over what might be helpful to decide how to proceed. What do you aspire and hope to move towards in your life, and what barriers are in the way.
I will offer some insights/suggestions for collaborative therapy treatment.
After scheduling the first appointment, I will send intake and consent forms to be filled out.
how often will we meet?
Weekly and twice weekly to in the beginning tends to support cultivating contexts for deep change. We want to engage in sustainable growth for impactful shifts with “the least amount of effort/energy required to arrive”.
do you provide documentation for accommodations?
This is key for disabilities justice advocacy. I have worked with clients navigating issues with housing, medical and legal systems, education and ESA.
do you take insurance?
I do not currently accept insurance. Insurance companies value profit and can impede treatment and care in ways that do not support best practices for clients’ needs. I value your health, wellbeing, and mental fitness and can provide care with or without a diagnosis.
how does insurance reimbursement work?
Here are some resources to learn more about out-of-network benefits and superbills. OON reimbursements will require diagnoses.
