DECOLONIAL LIBERATION BASED THERAPY IN CALIFORNIA, VIRGINIA, MARYLAND, AND WASHINGTON, DC
SETTING THE FRAME
A SAFE FOUNDATION
Your healing begins in a space where your story—personal, cultural, and ancestral—is fully honored. Together, we establish trust, set intentions, and create a foundation grounded in the realities of systemic oppression, historical trauma, and social context. Here, you are seen, heard, and held as you prepare to step into deep, transformative work.
CREATING CONGRUENCY
REPAIRING YOUR SENSE OF SELF + YOUR RELATIONSHIPS
Once these experiences have been felt and attended to, we focus on integration. You’ll explore how internalized patterns have influenced your identity, relationships, and sense of agency. Decolonial therapy supports reclaiming your authentic self, reshaping connections with others, and fostering mutual aid and accountability—linking personal healing to collective liberation.
DIVING DEEPER
HOLDING WOUNDS, GRIEF, AND RAGE
With trust established, we gently create space for your body, mind, and heart to feel and process emotions long held—grief, sadness, shame, anger, and even rage. We explore how systemic oppression and conditioning have been internalized, how this has shaped your sense of self, your relationships, and your perception of the world. This phase is about building capacity, witnessing your lived and inherited experiences, and beginning to renegotiate what once was internalized so you can reclaim your agency.
BUILDING YOUR TOOL KIT
INTEGRATING LIBERATION INTO YOUR DAILY LIFE
The final phase centers on applying your insights and skills in daily life. Together, we develop tools, reflections, and practices to sustain your growth, repair relational and systemic harms where possible, and deepen your participation in collective well-being. This ensures your healing contributes to both personal freedom and broader social transformation.
THE BENEFITS OF DECLONIAL THERAPY
Release internalized oppression and trauma
This work gently helps you notice and release the weight of internalized oppression—colonialism, racism, sexism, and other systemic forces that have shaped your inner world. By softening these patterns, you can reclaim mental, emotional, and spiritual freedom, allowing your true self to breathe.
Reconnect with your auhtentic self & power
Decolonial therapy nurtures your capacity to know yourself fully and step into your agency. As you reclaim your voice, your presence, and your choices, you move with confidence, clarity, and alignment—rooted in your values and your truth.
Step into individual and collective liberation
Your healing ripples beyond your own life. By tending to the inner and ancestral landscapes within you, you create space for justice, repair, and collective freedom. This path cultivates a life of deeper connection, purpose, and harmony—for you, your community, and generations to come.
