About

In my work, I center the voices of those with minoritized/oppressed identities (e.g., Black people, People of Color, LGBTQIA+, trans, gender-expansive people, and people in nontraditional relationship configurations). I have extensive experience working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, identity exploration (ethnic, racial, gender, and/or sexual identity), intersectionality, PTSD & Trauma, racial & oppression-based traumatic stress, and relationship concerns. I am also comfortable integrating religion/spirituality into our therapeutic work. My therapeutic sweet-spot is working with Q+BIPOC individuals and couples.

I firmly believe that we cannot heal or grow without others, and that we heal within the context of relationships and our community. “When ‘I’ becomes ‘We’, illness becomes wellness.” This is woven into my clinical work to foster your personal healing and our collective liberation.

My clients can expect a collaborative approach to our work together. This means I center my client's needs and wants as we co-construct therapy. I welcome the client(s) to create a space in therapy that will be conducive for the work they desire to do. I also elicit feedback to ensure that the space evolves with the client as they grow and heal.
