Do you often have the sense you're not in charge of your own life? In overwhelm? I believe difficulties in living are a sign we've outgrown certain habits, behaviors or views. What may have helped us survive in the past doesn't help us flourish in the here and now. So, we find ourselves stuck - in a painful relationship, an unsatisfying job situation, or with unpleasant physical symptoms of anxiety or depression. Our suffering may be a great awakener, calling us out of the sleep of unconsciousness, asking us what it is we really want. I provide a sensitive, warm spaciousness that invites your whole self to address that question.

MCM Collaborative is a group psychotherapy practice built for connection, healing and transformation. We are passionate and practiced in partnering with people of color, especially LGBTQ+ folks.

We work best with clients who often feel misunderstood by others and, at times, by themselves. Struggling within your relationships - friendships, romantic, familial? We got you there, too.

Few things are harder than struggling alone. You might be holding onto pain from your family, friends, or past relationships. Or it could feel like you're stuck inside a traumatic event that chains your life. It might feel like no one understands how deeply sad, intensely angry, or desperately helpless you feel. But you're not alone. Healing from trauma is not just a concept; it is an attainable reality. It would be an honor to be invited on your journey towards healing, reparation and building a life worth living. I believe the goal of therapy is not just to stop the suffering, but to create a sustained life of thriving and joy.

As a clinician, my foundational belief is in the power of collaboration and connection. I prioritize building a therapeutic alliance that fosters an environment where clients feel empowered to bring their entire selves into each session. My approach is anchored in warmth and humor, facilitating a space where growth, self-recognition, and development are not just goals but achievable realities. With a deep understanding that individuals are the experts of their own experiences, I utilize therapy as a means to unlock and explore the true self.

I believe everyone has a story that needs to be shared. Therapy can be a space where we challenge how we relate to our stories as well as the one's we've been told by our families, cultures, and society. Therapy can also be a space where we reckon with the universal systems and histories of oppression that have impacted our stories, our ability to tell them, and how we feel they are received in the world. I provide support to those who are motivated towards greater understandings of their stories in order to heal the connections in their relationships with themselves and others.

I believe in community care, liberation, growth, joy, resilience, healing, and justice. We live within various systems and institutions that impact how we navigate our lives in relation to each other. I am here to invite and support you in exploring connections to yourself, your communities, and the world around you. I am passionate about working with intersectional identities of race, gender, sexuality, and neurodivergence and focus around issues of relationships, trauma, transitions, and alternative lifestyles (such as kink/BDSM, polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, etc.).

Dealing with painful loss or an ending? In a life transition? Need to make a major decision but don't feel sure? Often people get stuck in emotional cycles and shadows of the past that offset clarity and objectivity. I offer 40 years of experience helping people through these kinds of times. Through my life coaching/mentoring practice, I provide an empathic and practical appoach to identifying patterns and providing insight, while helping clients work through fears and find solutions. I believe that developing self-compassion as one gains awareness, is useful to making changes and acting with more confidence and assertiveness.

“Someone I loved once gave me a box of darkness. It took years to realize that this, too, was a gift.”-Mary Oliver / My belief is that healing takes place in relationships.
