Therapy for Marginalized Folx
WHAT WE DO
Feminist, Anti-Racist, Anti-Oppression Counseling
You just want to be seen – AND loved – for who you really are, not the mask you wear every day. You feel exhausted or lonely or like a fraud. But, somewhere inside, you know it doesn't have to be this way. You're looking for someone you can trust enough to drop the pretense and learn how to live with courage and connection.
The Liberation Counseling Story
At Liberation Counseling, we're redefining therapy and coaching:
We understand that true healing happens when clients can bring their whole selves to the therapy room. Too often, people feel they must educate their therapists about their identities or hide parts of themselves. We believe this approach is fundamentally flawed.
People heal when they are seen, heard, and believed.
Our Commitment:
We do our own work, constantly challenging our understanding of systemic issues like white supremacy, racism, homophobia, ableism, patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism.
We embrace intersectionality, recognizing that each person's experience is shaped by multiple, overlapping identities.
We strive to be better listeners, talking less and creating space for our clients' voices.
We're building a new model of therapy that aims to be truly inclusive and supportive for ALL.
Inclusive therapy is our passion.
Your Healing Journey:
With Liberation Counseling, you don't have to be the teacher or hide parts of yourself. We're here to provide a safe, understanding space where you can explore, grow, and heal authentically.
We're ready to be there for you, supporting your unique path to liberation and well-being.
Start your journey with us today – where your whole self is not just accepted, but celebrated.

Healing isn’t about fixing what’s broken, instead it’s about understanding, accepting, and growing into the person you were always meant to be.
I became a therapist because I believe in the power of self-discovery and resilience. My own journey, including working in healthcare throughout the pandemic and being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, has given me a deep appreciation for the challenges and strengths that come with neurodivergence and change. My goal is to help my clients recover from the stigma that can come with a diagnosis and to embrace authenticity.

My practice specializes in providing affirming, culturally competent therapy for individuals from marginalized communities, including BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and disabled folx. I recognize the unique challenges faced by those navigating systemic oppression and discrimination, and I'm committed to creating a safe space where all aspects of identity are honored. My approach integrates an understanding of intersectionality and the impact of societal power structures on mental health. Through specialized training in EMDR, I work collaboratively with clients to address issues like minority stress, internalized oppression, and identity affirmation. My goal is to empower clients to thrive authentically in a world that often pushes them to the margins.
The #1 predictor of successful therapy?
It’s the relationship you have with your therapist.
