As a human who is queer/non-binary, bi-cultural, immigrant to the U.S., and non-normatively abled, I love supporting folks to navigate complexity — as it comes to internal states, relationships, making decisions, and sifting through layers to make sense of yourself and your place in the world.
I am committed to the work of personal and collective awakening at the intersections of:
adaptive embodiment
mindfulness practice
anti-oppression work
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the State of Colorado and work with clients in Colorado and across the world in English, Russian, Spanish via phone and/or video. My aim is to support you to better understand yourself and your place/s in the increasingly complex world we live in.
I believe access to joy, resilience, and healing is inextricably tied to identity, to relationships with people and with place, and to the stories we tell. I work with folks living in the intersection of multiple worlds:
multi-cultural folks
medical professionals
first and second generation immigrants
queer and trans folks
the LGBTQIA+ community
chronic illness and chronic pain
white people doing the internal work to disinvest from whiteness
For folks living multiple marginalized identities, access to authentic expression, feeling at home, and agency is often fluid. I trust that we each have our own challenges and pathways for accessing resilience, inspiration, ease, and play. Working together can help strengthen those pathways.
Outside of work, I can often be found in the woods, nurturing relationship with the wilderness, reading about and engaging in social justice practices, listening to podcasts about design, and experimenting with medicinal recipes.
