about tasha
I’m Tasha—a soul-medicine giver, a bearer of radical love, a writer, therapist, mentor, and a devoted caretaker of my community.
Anchored in the unshakable belief that we belong to one another, my work is a living testament to shared wisdom, transformative love, and the undeniable truth that liberation is not only possible—it is our collective birthright.
My Philosophy
At the core of my practice is a commitment to creating a therapeutic space that fosters healing, empowerment, and liberation. My work centers on supporting clients as they navigate their unique journeys toward wholeness while addressing the broader systemic forces that shape their lives.
Key Principles
1. Radical Self-Compassion: I guide clients toward embracing their full humanity, fostering a compassionate relationship with themselves and their inner world. Healing begins with honoring all parts of the self, especially those shaped by trauma and systemic oppression.
2. Intersectional and Anti-Oppressive Care: I approach therapy through an intersectional lens, acknowledging the impact of systemic inequities—including racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and classism—on mental health. My work centers the voices and experiences of BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and other marginalized communities.
3. Healing Historical and Collective Trauma: I understand that personal pain is often rooted in collective and intergenerational experiences, including the traumas of colonization, enslavement, displacement, and cultural erasure. My approach honors these historical wounds while supporting clients in reclaiming their agency, identity, and resilience.
4. Addressing the Impact of White Supremacy and Global Crises: I hold space for the psychological toll of living within systems of white supremacy, capitalism, and ongoing global crises. By naming and confronting these realities, I empower clients to navigate the intersections of personal and systemic healing.
5. Empowerment Through Connection: I prioritize relational healing, cultivating a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, authenticity, and safety. By modeling vulnerability and respect, I support clients in building relationships that align with their values and needs.
6. Trauma-Informed and Holistic Integration: Recognizing the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic practices, and mindfulness-based approaches to support clients in reconnecting with their inner world and embodied self.
7. Decolonized and Ancestral Wisdom: Grounded in respect for ancestral knowledge, I integrate decolonized frameworks that honor the spiritual, cultural, and communal aspects of healing. Clients are invited to explore their lineage, reclaim cultural practices, and draw strength from their roots.
8. Liberation and Wholeness: My ultimate goal is to help clients move toward liberation by shedding the narratives, systems, and patterns that no longer serve them. This process is not about achieving perfection but about reclaiming joy, belonging, and a life aligned with their values.
We should all find our voice and live in our own truth—whatever that might be.
