I am a Registered Associate Marriage Family Therapist supervised and employed by Susan Levin LMFT 47760. I center agency and humanity in my work with clients. My approach is deeply relational and I want to know what you need to feel safe and seen to co-create our work around your goals. As a biracial, bisexual, genderqueer therapist grounded in liberation and narrative therapy, I see healing as a process of remembering yourself and finding meaning in what you’ve survived. In learning to move with it, not against it we reclaim your voice, agency, and the possibility of living with greater freedom, connection, and truth.
My work is grounded in honoring complexity, co-creating safety, and walking alongside people as they reclaim agency and rewrite the narratives that no longer serve them. I believe healing is not about fixing what is broken, but about making meaning from what we’ve survived—and learning to live more freely, more fully, in the truth of who we are.
