“Rarely, if ever, are any of us healed in isolation. Healing is an act of communion.” – bell hooks The healing journey can be an intimidating path, and you don’t have to travel it alone. I believe that the role of a therapist is to walk beside you on your healing path. My top priority is to create a safe, accepting space where you can explore your inner landscape and develop skills to navigate your outer world. I am a trauma-informed, intersectional feminist who cares deeply about helping clients reclaim their power and reconnect to their voice.

By providing a caring, compassionate, and free space to express past traumas, disruptive thought patterns, and confusing life circumstances, I create a meaningful and tailored healing experience for each client. Through counseling, clients can begin to experience the power behind their own convictions and step into a position of power over their own internal landscape. I believe in dismantling oppressive systems and harmful patterns within individual's lives through meaningful and powerful therapeutic intervention.

Navigating emotions can be quite challenging, don’t you think? It often seems more convenient to bury them deep inside. What if we allowed ourselves to laugh and cry our way through them? Recognizing the power of laughter and the significance of embracing all emotions is incredibly important. I believe that laughter is indeed one of the best medicines, but I also know that every emotion has a meaningful place in our lives. This is a safe and inclusive space for everyone. I'll meet you exactly where you are in your emotional journey, creating a collaborative, non-judgmental, and authentic environment where growth can flourish.

Self-doubt. Overwhelm. Hopelessness. The fears and limiting messages of past traumas. Feeling disconnected from our partners, as if we speak different languages. Inability to relax and feel at peace. Does any of this sound familiar? These are some of the issues that clients have brought to me over the years in my practice. And I’ve been honored, humbled, and truly gratified to share and act as a guide in these journeys. I firmly believe that within each of us is the ability to find our voice, our self-empowerment, and our joy. I’d love to help you find yours.

My clients are loving and compassionate people which is why they often say yes when they mean no. They have been shown through childhood experiences or romantic relationships that others wants and needs are more important than their own. They put on a brave face but are terrified that the world will see through this smile. Beneath this smile is a core belief that there is something fundamentally flawed about them. Their inner voice says, “you are unlovable." Paradoxically, what my clients crave the most is also what they are the most terrified of: connection, acceptance, and love. LGBTQIA ally
