Please note that due to the ongoing pandemic, I am only doing sessions online (via Zoom).

I was born and raised in Tovaangar (Los Angeles basin, So. Channel Islands, CA), the unceded territory of the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples.

I now currently reside in the stolen lands of the Clackamas, Cowlitz and Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde (otherwise known as Portland, OR). I acknowledge that what we now call Portland, Oregon and Multnomah County are the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla and many other Tribes who made their homes along the Columbia and Willamette Rivers.

To learn more about Portland’s Native community, please read Leading with Tradition, The Native American Community in Multnomah County: An Unsettling Profile and The Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde website

And I feel it important to note that I recognize that acknowledging that we have stolen this land is not enough. I have only included this here as a way to bring attention to the fact that most of us are living on stolen land, amplify Indigenous history and also to encourage us all to do our part to support Indigenous organizations, Indigenous-led grassroots change movements and campaigns with our time and/or $$$. So, please donate to your local tribes (check out https://native-land.ca/ for more information).
