Feeling weighed down by life’s pressures, wondering if the fog of depression, anxiety, or identity struggles will ever clear? You’re not alone. As a psychotherapist, I work as a co-explorer – by your side navigating your authentic experience of this world. My passion is supporting individuals who transcend the “norms,” such as high-achievers, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, & emerging adults. In our sessions, find a space that’s anything but ordinary—where curiosity and comfort meet. It’s a place to rediscover the “you” beneath the surface, understand what social & historical factors have impacted you, & start crafting a life that feels truly yours.
As someone who researches the mental health impacts of oppression on Black and Latinx youth, as well as people who've faced any hardships or disenfranchisement, I bring an intersectional lens to all my work. I draw from evidence-based practices to ensure our sessions foster a sense of collaboration, compassion, and respect for your unique experiences.
My approach is characterized by an agile responsiveness to the emergent contours of your conscious & subconscious terrain. I bring my lived experience to my work with queer and trans youth & adults. I also love working w/ BIPOC clients & individuals with disabilities. I'm a sex positive therapist who works with many poly and nontraditional types. Welcome!
