I believe that self-acceptance is the cornerstone to emotional wellness. Peace does not come from the absence of stress and struggle, but in one's ability to be comfortable living with it. I view my work through the lens of anti-oppression: I acknowledge the impact that systemic, cultural, and societal expectations have on our daily existence a
I believe that every feeling in your body and mind has a story to tell about your past and your present, and healing begins when we listen with compassion to those stories.
