As a Black, queer, Caribbean/LatinX individual who practices therapy from a non-oppressive and radically authentic lens I draw on over ten years of experience working with women, children and communities of color around topics of equity, sexuality, education, LGBTQ+, and trauma. I use my knowledge and background to analyze issues with a strong understanding of the systems, personal history and survival skills that influence your identity today. I am interested in understanding 'personal language' (emotions and perspective) to address the current design of your relationships and encourage transformations better suited for your goals
I address concerns with family dynamics, infidelity, trauma in relationships, cultural concerns, interracial identities, breaking generational cycles, shifts in desires, sex therapy, communications challenges & non traditional relationships. My therapeutic style incorporates narrative therapy, EFT & SFT while also being poly and kink informed
Having intersecting identities and working through life issues can lead to compounding experiences that come with various emotions. My goal is to listen to each member's needs and highlight options based on values and proximity to resources. This process is not linear but the space we create together will be safe enough for us to work through
