You are worthy and capable of the healing you envision. That journey begins the moment you decide to show up for yourself. My role is to hold the mirror while you unveil the power already living within you. As a psychotherapist with a PhD in International Psychology, my work is shaped by a deep curiosity about how we carry our histories: the cultural inheritances passed down through generations, the stories in our bodies, the identities we've been handed and the ones we've chosen. Together, we co-create a space full of grace. Where your wisdom is honored, your patterns explored with compassion, and new ways of being are integrated.

I believe that improving your relationship with yourself improves everything. No matter what your presenting issues are, you are there as part of the equation.

Typically individuals come to psychotherapy for relief of emotional and psychological pain, which may take the form of depression, anxiety, self-defeating behavior, and/or unfulfilled relationships or goals, to name a few. Many can identify some past trauma, or perhaps some mistreatment that seems somehow connected. For others the reasons are more elusive, like a general feeling of unhappiness, perhaps with oneself or with others.I strive to help you verbalize your thoughts and feelings about what happens between us in our emerging relationship as a way of understanding your relationships in general.

I offer therapy grounded in empathy, insight, and collaboration. Together, we explore longstanding patterns in relationships that may be keeping you from feeling fulfilled. You may find yourself worrying about how others perceive you, overextending to gain approval, struggling to sustain meaningful connections, or questioning your worth. My goal is to help you develop a more authentic relationship with yourself and gain clarity in how you communicate and relate to others. I bring extensive experience supporting adults navigating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, career transitions, and multicultural and LGBTQ+ concerns.

You don’t have to perform your pain to be seen. You don’t have to overgive to be loved.
I work with the LGBTQ, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrants, kink/BDSM community, polyamorous or nonmonogamous folks, and survivors who are done with shrinking, burning out, or wondering if they’re "too much." You might be holding grief, longing, or rage that never had a safe place to land, especially if your identity has been shaped by generational trauma, family obligation, or code-switching for safety.
As a relational, trauma-informed and somatic therapist, I hold space for both the ache and the aliveness in you. I am trained in EMDR and IFS.

Among many things, challenges, stress, work/life balance, strong emotions, unresolved trauma, patterns of behavior, grief and loss, unsatisfying relationships, substance use, or unexpected changes can interrupt the journey to fulfillment.
Working with a psychotherapist is a pause on the journey, a time to identify the impediments and learn new skills to get back on track. My practice is anti-oppressive, culturally affirming, and LGBTQIA+-allied. I see adults, young adults, couples, and groups who have tried to live their best life but have come across obstacles that have made it difficult.

Affirmative Spaces specializes in providing psychotherapy to LGBTQIA+ people of color and other marginalized groups. In treatment, I utilize a culturally informed approach and strive to create a space where you are free to be your unapologetic, authentic self and ensure your experiences are honored, affirmed, and handled with care.

I view therapy as an opportunity for every person to have a confidential, supportive, and guided experience towards personal growth and facing life’s unending challenges. My style of therapy is very much like my personality: down to earth, humble, funny, compassionate, slightly sarcastic, direct, and blunt in a loving way.
