I am a Queer Trans mixed race therapist. I care deeply about work I do. I would be honored to explore working together. My clients are all ages, exploring gender and sexual identity, religious and spiritual identity, racial identity, and neurodivergence. Often genuinely curious about deeper understandings of themselves and how they move in the world. I enjoy working with creative thinkers, folks who enjoy challenging themselves, and creating their own visions/move against the grain. I also enjoy working with athletes and folks who are curious about the connection between physical and mental health.
I strive to offer a curious, open, and gentle approach to therapy. I care deeply about the impacts of historical structural power, questioning dominant discourses and stories, how you make meaning of your stories, enriching preferred stories we tell ourselves. I work from Narrative, Feminist, Psychodynamic, and Relational approaches.
It takes a lot of courage to (re)start therapy. I welcome consults, even if you are unsure if this is the right time to start or I am the right fit for you. We can talk through options to best support you on your journeys!

Joha is a rockstar therapist-as warm as they are clinically knowledgeable. They use their empathy to validate and interventions to gently help their clients. I have known Joha as a supervisor and colleague and could not recommend them more.

I utilize Narrative Therapy to support folks in thinking about preferred stories they want to ground themselves in, and always hold systemic power structures in mind when exploring identity and internalized narratives. I also utilize psychodynamic theories to think about the ways our backgrounds and family hx shape us, DBT for grounding tools, and Liberation Psychology.
