We are a multiethnic and multiracial group practice that centralizes care for BIPoC and LGBTQIA+ communities. Clients who come to us are working though life challenges related to their identities. They are often in a process of self-exploration, working to make sense of their place and identity in the world where they are made to feel like "the other" and have been marginalized, traumatized, and blatantly microaggressed. We recognize the importance of finding providers who get it, from a shared and lived experience. Here, our aim is connect communities of color and queer communities with providers of color and queer providers.

I am the founding executive director/owner of Aeon Counseling & Consulting, a company that empowers individuals and organizations to achieve their missions.

I am a queer-identifying (they/them) person of color, and a masters-level social work student intern in my last year of field placement. I am an activist and social justice-oriented individual. I have 6 years of experience working with children, youth, and guardians. I have worked with adolescence and families who have gone through major life transitions, children on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and adults with disabilities.

My clients are typically “high achievers,” parentified children or people pleasers who seek to know themselves more deeply. I specialize in working with disordered eating, life transitions, anxiety and depression. Our work together offers a space to bring into more conscious awareness, unacknowledged pain, longings and barriers to substantive nourishment of self. When the remnants of our past emerge in our present, it can feel disorienting and painful. I offer curiosity, warmth and empathy towards these emergent experiences and accompany you in deepening your self-understanding.

Welcome : ) Are you are wanting to stop worrying and be more connected, especially wondering how to change the patterns you’ve gotten stuck in.

You'll find creative solutions to shift away from problem saturated patterns into connection and healing. You’ll build tools to manage triggers and conflict while we tap into your strengths and resilience.

I specialize in couples therapy because I think it has the potential to be uniquely transformative. Unlike many other forms of therapy in which we talk about relationships, in couples therapy, the relationship is happening in the room. The desire for change is strong when we risk losing what we treasure most. In this high-stakes, dynamic space, we often feel inspired to take risks that lead to lasting change.

What is it like to be you? My approach lies in creating a meaningful and authentic relationship with my client where there is security and openness to fully explore areas of difficulty, pain, joy, and growth. Together, we can address concerns surrounding anxiety and mood, coping strategies, identity and self-worth, disconnection, and transition/loss that may be impacting wellbeing. I aim to help others cultivate a greater understanding of and compassion for themselves, increase the ability to make choices and try new ways of being, and make changes that reflect core values and aspirations.

I am currently not taking on new clients-Initiating steps to join therapy is brave, courageous, and vulnerable. My practice is aimed to support queer, trans, and gender diverse individuals.

I want to learn from you and support you to grow into your authentic self so that you may live your life to its fullest.
