You just became a parent, or you're about to. Everything you thought you knew about your relationship is shifting. The dynamic that worked before doesn't quite fit anymore, and you're both trying to figure out who you are to each other now. Maybe you're managing more than you ever have, holding each other at a distance without meaning to, or fighting in ways that feel unfamiliar and a little scary.
You not only want to this transition, you want to stay connected to each other, too.

Reaching out for therapy can feel weird, vulnerable, or honestly just exhausting sometimes. Many of the people I work with are carrying way more than they let other people see. Some are in the middle of burnout, relationship issues, trauma, grief, identity questions, neurodivergent overwhelm, or just feeling completely disconnected from themselves and their life.
Therapy with me is not about judging you or trying to force you into a box. It is about having a space where you can actually breathe, make sense of what is going on, and slowly start figuring out what healing and being yourself even looks like for you.

Porn addiction can quietly erode trust in a relationship, leaving one partner feeling hurt and inadequate while the other feels caught in a cycle of guilt, secrecy, and broken promises despite all their willpower. Over time, this often leads to growing disconnection or even a sense of betrayal. If this is your reality, you are not alone. What often begins as normal screen use or social media can progress into porn sites, cam sites, or OnlyFans and become a pattern that is difficult to control, even for men disciplined in every other area of life.

Our pasts do not define us; however, they do inform us. We are all shaped by our biology and environments, and to truly understand ourselves in the present, it is valuable to reflect on our past experiences, perhaps even across generations. I believe that we are never permanently stuck; we simply need the right person(s) and tools to help us move through our challenges. As a multicultural person with a diverse background, I deeply value individuality and I approach every session with a fresh perspective, honoring the fact that no two people share the same story. I am here to support your exploration of your intersectionalities.

My approach to therapy is person-centered, collaborative, and nontraditional, with a heavy dose of warmth and humor.

I work from a trauma-informed lens, with particular care for experiences related to oppression, marginalization, and transgenerational or familial struggles. Play, connection, curiosity and levity are the cornerstones of my practice.

You are not alone. When life is hard, people may want to hide away or be alone to escape tough feelings, interpersonal conflict, or rejection. Sometimes, we want to fight against it, but we end up hurting the very people we care about. Then, we might feel confused about what is happening and hopeless about life getting better. When these problems do not go away with time, a genuine therapeutic connection may help you heal, grow, and find new ways to solve old problems.

FAQ - About Multiracial Counseling
Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.
How can a mixed race therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
