Interdependence

Honoring the infinite causes and conditions (our histories & lineages, our people and communities, the land we live on, and all sentient beings we may know or never even meet) that support our existence & share this world with us.  

Collaboration

The process of working together and being supported to deepen one’s self-understanding, and to create one’s unique paths to healing and living.

Somatic Therapies

Listening to the body and integrating sensory, breath, & movement practices that allow for awareness, connection, and a deeper compassion for the various parts of ourselves.

Creative Action

Finding agency, choice, and empowerment through any actions that are vital to our core or highest sense of self, story, and lineage.

Ancestral, Spiritual, and Cultural Resilience

Honoring and practicing the wisdom, strengths, and practices of our ancestral, spiritual, and cultural traditions.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide an inclusive, empowering, and compassionate space to navigate life’s complexities and suffering together. My hope is to support you in exploring the many parts of yourself and your lived experiences, as well as any emotional and somatic feelings that accompany them. Therapy can be an opportunity to slow down and attune to your feelings, reflect on your relationship with yourself and your relationships with others, recognize and affirm your feelings, needs, values, and strengths, learn and integrate various healing practices, and connect to sense of being that allows for deeper insight, self-compassion, connection, and vitality in life.

How can we co-create a therapeutic experience that is supportive and liberating for you?

After trauma occurs, and often through just existing and bearing witness to the world’s socio-political-environmental oppression, many of us may experience symptoms related to anxiety, depression, and complex PTSD that can be extremely challenging to live with.

Trauma-informed yoga and meditation classes help to empower community members with the space and practice to exercise breath regulation, sensory mindfulness, movement to release tension, personal choices to restore safety and agency, as well as overall cultivate mind-body awareness.

The Trauma Resiliency Model helps to deepen one’s awareness of their nervous system and natural survival responses, and shows how we can practice skills to help our bodies return to a resilience zone where we can feel more grounded to take care and make choices with more clarity, calm, and creativity.

Drawing from these two modalities, as well as being grounded in a Buddhist spiritual lens, Webs of Well-being works with individuals and organizations of diverse communities to hold space for grounding and somatic practice - where people have an opportunity to restore, connect, and be in their bodies.  

In the midst of our communities’ suffering and lived experiences of systemic oppression, Webs of Well-being works with organizations seeking to cultivate more sustainable and healing cultures of working and movement building.

Drawing from analysis, resourcefulness, and years of community organizing and clinical training, Webs of Well-being collaborates with various groups, organizations, and leaders to customize trauma-informed, holistic, and healing-justice workshops, retreats, and coaching sessions.
