As a queer woman of color, my lived experiences inform my work as a therapist. I specialize in supporting BIPOC clients in the LGBTQIA+ community, while welcoming all LGBTQIA+ adults seeking individual or relationship therapy. My approach is trauma-informed, multicultural, and feminist. My style is collaborative and flexible, guided by your needs and goals. I can incorporate modalities like IFS, EMDR, KAP, Expressive Arts, and Dreamwork, supporting you in a way that feels aligned with who you are and at a pace that honors your nervous system.
Many of the people I work with come to therapy seeking deeper self-understanding, healing from past experiences, and more fulfilling connections. Together we can work toward greater self-trust, stronger relationships, and a deeper sense of empowerment.
If you think we might be a good fit, please reach out for a free 15-minute phone consultation to connect and ask any questions. Sessions are currently available online. You can contact me by email or leave a voicemail if you call, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
