As a therapist practicing in Louisville, Colorado, I respectfully acknowledge that I live and work on the traditional and ancestral lands of the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute peoples. This land was taken through acts of colonization, and I honor the ongoing presence, wisdom, and resilience of Indigenous communities who continue to steward this land.

I also recognize that many of the healing practices we draw from, including play therapy, somatic work, Internal Family Systems, and mindfulness, have deep roots that extend beyond Western frameworks. These approaches reflect wisdom held for generations by Indigenous, African, and other non-Western cultures, whose traditions have long centered community, embodiment, and interconnectedness.

I am committed to engaging in this work with integrity, care, and reverence. I aim to integrate these practices ethically and non-extractively, honoring their origins and the people who cultivated them.

I believe that healing is not only an individual process, but also a relational and intergenerational one. In my practice, I welcome and encourage exploration of ancestral stories, cultural identity, and embodied wisdom as meaningful pathways to healing. My intention is to hold a therapeutic space that is not only trauma-informed, but also culturally reverent, where healing is rooted in remembrance, connection, and care.
