I work with adolescents and adults, specializing in supporting clients with marginalized identities—racial/ethnic, sexual, and gender minorities. My ideal client is ready to bring their whole self into our work: their identities, experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. This openness fosters self-awareness and growth, providing a foundation for meaningful change. I believe therapy works best when you feel safe to show up authentically, exploring all parts of yourself that shape your experience in the world. We'll define what meaningful change looks like and build concrete steps for living more authentically and intentionally.
I use a cognitive-behavioral foundation integrated with multicultural and developmental frameworks to help you understand yourself as a cultural being. I'll encourage you to curiously examine your concerns and empower you to define your identities and values in service of living a personally fulfilling life.
I believe deeply in the healing and transformative power of therapy. It's an honor to join you in this process of growth and self-understanding—I'm excited to be part of your therapeutic journey!"

I support clients navigating life transitions—whether from major changes (moves, graduations, career shifts), grief and loss, or identity exploration (including racial and queer identity). Anxiety, depression, and other challenges often emerge during these times. I'm here to help you move through them with care and understanding.
