I work with queer, trans, POC folks and allies navigating identity, life transitions, immigration, and culture—people seeking a therapist who will affirm who they are and honor their lived experience. Clients often come to me facing questions about identity, relationships, or mental health challenges, looking for a space where they don't have to explain or translate themselves before the real work can begin. With almost 20 years in the social work field, I draw on an integrative mix of approaches— CBT, Solution-Focused, Strengths-Based, Psychodynamic, and Motivational Interviewing—alongside my own lived and professional experience
I tailor each session to fit you, helping you move from surviving to building the life you want. My specialty is holding space for the complexity of identity, without asking you to compartmentalize any part of yourself. As a queer, transgender therapist and immigrant, I bring both clinical expertise and real, personal understanding to our work together.
You deserve a space where your truth is met with empathy, not assumptions. If you're ready to explore your journey with an approach that meets you where you are and grows with you, I'd be honored to walk alongside you.
