I work best with those whose lives exist outside the margins, people whose intersecting identities have been historically or systematically marginalized. My clients seek a space where they are affirmed, understood, and gently challenged. Together, we address the systems and patterns keeping them stuck, so they leave feeling safe, supported, and able to self-empower as the experts of their own lives.
I specialize in working with people whose identities and experiences exist beyond dominant norms. My counseling is reflexive, grounded in aspirational ethics, and shaped by decolonized and liberatory approaches. Actively centering your lived experience and strengths in every step of our work together.
Your story matters. I aim to create a space where all of who you are is able to be seen and valued, especially the parts the world may overlook or misunderstand. If you’re ready to explore change, challenge what holds you back, and move toward the life you want, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
