I work with LGBTQ+ and BIPOC adults in California navigating trauma, burnout, identity, and relationship concerns. My ideal client may be exploring non-monogamy, healing religious or racial trauma, or seeking sex-positive, kink-affirming support. They want a therapist who understands systemic oppression and offers a space that feels safe, honest, and liberatory. Their goals include reclaiming joy, building self-trust, and living with more authenticity. They want therapy that sees the whole person — not just symptoms — and meets them where they are.
I offer LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and sex-positive therapy for adults in California. Specializing in trauma, non-monogamy, kink, religious harm, and identity exploration, I provide virtual, affirming care rooted in decolonial and relational approaches. Together, we’ll build trust, process pain, and support your healing and self-acceptance
You deserve a space where your full self is seen and supported. Whether you're exploring identity, healing trauma, or navigating complex relationships, you're not alone. I'm here to hold space for your story with care and intention. If you're ready to begin, I invite you to reach out and take the next step in your healing journey.
