If you are a person of color (POC), in the LGBTQ community, and/or are non-monogamous/poly, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse populations for over 15 years. In working with a culturally competent therapist like me, you can focus on what brought you to therapy in the first place and not on explaining or “teaching” the nuances of your culture and sexuality. My expertise is in helping those who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship difficulties. I’m trained in EMDR, an evidence-based therapy that treats trauma and other difficulties.
My approach to therapy is holistic - I take into account your culture, family history, ethnicity, faith, sexual orientation, etc - and tailor treatments to your individual needs. We’ll work collaboratively and interactively to facilitate change. With warmth (and sometimes a sense of little humor) I’ll support yet challenge you.
