I’m dedicated to supporting clients who carry the weight of marginalization, trauma, or questions of belonging. Whether you’re a person of color, Black, Asian, Latine/x, Indigenous, or a member of LGBTQIA+ communities, you deserve to feel welcomed and truly seen. My practice centers on culturally responsive, social justice oriented therapy. I blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and mind-body techniques to help you notice how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors shape your choices and to empower you to thrive. If you’re ready to be fully seen and supported, I’d love to connect.
Rooted in holistic health and attuned to your unique needs, I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space to explore and honor your identity. Whether navigating sexuality, kink, consensual non-monogamy, or managing work, family, depression, or anxiety, we’ll collaborate to challenge stigma, build confidence, and cultivate authentic connection.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, but I believe mental health is true wealth. You already hold the wisdom and strength within, and I’m here to help you reconnect with your power, find your voice, and reimagine what’s possible. If you’re ready for transformative change, I invite you to reach out.
