I believe in the inherent wisdom of the body and incorporate emotional and somatic awareness into my holistic practice. By listening to the body, we can navigate past traumas and painful experiences together. Additionally, I explore issues within the broader context of an individual's life, showing curiosity about diversity factors such as gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, ability, religion, spirituality, and community.

I am a Licensed Marriage, Family Therapist in private practice in Long Beach, California working with individuals, couples, and families. As a Transmasculine person who uses the pronouns they/them/theirs, I am especially qualified and passionate about working with folks in the LGBTQIA+ Community and their allies. An eclectic therapist focused on the healing arts utilizing a wide variety of theories and techniques including Mindfulness, Somatic, Cognitive Behavioral, Existential and Gestalt to serve the diverse needs of my clients. I also supervise wonderful, skilled, and compassionate Associates who offer caring therapy on a scale.

Welcome, I am so glad you are here. Life is hard, and finding a therapist is even harder! My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment - one where you are respected, seen, and empowered! My ideal client is Queer, Trans, Gender non-conforming, or exploring their gender and sexual identities! I am queer, trans non-binary, white, neurodivergent human who values diversity and strives to use an anti-colonial lens.

As an trans+queer femme, I am passionate about interdependence and community psych. I believe that the societal structures inherent in our 'independence' focused U.S. culture harms all of us, creating fixed binaries and making asking for and receiving help difficult. We were never meant to do any of this alone, and resourcing folx (in a variety of ways) is at the root of all of my work. 'In the room,' I genuinely care about helping people connect to therapy work in a way that is meaningful to them, noting that this can look a little different person to person and always exists in your own cultural context.

You are a product of your community. As a result, you are a Survivor of the traumas, the cultural norms, and the "rules" that you followed in order to stay alive. When you based your survival on another's expectation of you, you eventually found yourself lost in the limbo of sacrificing your authenticity and your voice for the happiness and success of your social circle, family, and/or your community.

Are you at a point in your life where you feel you are ready for a change but don’t know where to start?

Are you struggling to find or maintain healthy relationships with partners, family, friends, or co-workers? Perhaps you're just finally ready to work on yourself, level-up, and enrich your life by establishing a deeper relationship with YOU.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

Welcome. Feeling overwhelmed, lost, exhausted, or confused? My therapeutic approach focuses on increasing understanding and awareness in the present moment to help meet life's obstacles and challenges. It is my belief that becoming more fully present moves through barriers to well-being and can open pathways to inner understanding. Working in the present with thoughts, feelings and emotions, we uncover the past and discover our connections to family and community. My work focuses on spirituality and existential considerations, relationships, family of origin patterns and history, trauma, sexuality, and gender exploration.

Feeling misunderstood and not quite right? Experiences with trauma, depressions, anxiety can be variables influencing how we feel. I understand trauma and struggles with mental health issues.

This includes anyone dealing with depression, anxiety, addictive behavior, unprocessed childhood experiences, PTSD or failure to create healthy connections with others. My offer also extends to those experiencing parenthood with a new born infant or an adult child.

As an openly polyamorous-queer-gender nonconforming person, I’ve spent most of my life experiencing microaggressions & unlearning the cisnormative & hetronormative messages that constantly tell us we are defective, broken, or unwanted. They are wrong! We are fabulous, vibrant & deserving, of all the gifts the world has to offer. I became a therapist to share what I’ve learned, bring healing, & advocate for queer/trans youth, young adults & their families while working for social justice & full inclusion into society. Our work will be in a safe, affirming space so we can collaborate to create & implement a road map to your recovery.

Therapy is an art, not a science. Since every person is a unique individual, therapy will vary depending on the persons involved. Hence, there can be no one approach to therapy which works for everyone. To facilitate change, different techniques may be used. However, the forging of a therapeutic alliance is essential for change. Research has shown that a successful outcome in therapy depends on this. In humanistic psychology, emphasis is placed on self-actualization. A propensity to self-actualize is presumed to exist in all persons. Karen Horney made the following analogy to illustrate this phenomenon.
