Also, I use play and sand tray to increase connection, and access painful content that can be difficult to express with words.
I see caregivers as the primary change maker in their child’s life. I strive to support your caregiving efforts by exploring how personal, family, community and cultural history influence your caregiving. We work on ways for you to be the caregiver you would like to be. I am specialized in serving 0–5-year-olds and have been providing therapy since 2005.

I rely on play and other age-appropriate interventions to assist in addressing therapeutic goals.
Being a kid during these modern times is difficult, and asking for help is courageous when life begins to feel a little too much. I have a particular passion providing mental health care for children, adolescents, and young adults, and have a special interest working with neurodivergence and anxiety disorders. In my work with you, I will provide a safe space for you and your child to explore current therapeutic concerns and work to address them using evidence-based modalities and interventions - all while being your biggest cheerleader, every step of the way!

I'm a bilingual, multicultural, black queer therapist who is committed to helping heal your parts that feel rejected internally or by others. My style is relational and rooted in decolonizing healing and inviting in joy. I believe our diverse identities and the intersections we find ourselves living in are not only valid but worthy, even while systems of oppression would have us believe otherwise. If you are seeking safety, awareness, autonomy and grounding I work with folks exploring identity, spirituality, people living with HIV and chronic conditions, LGBTQ folks, children, adolescents, and families.

Working together toward change, I place importance of the relationship with you in the therapy and emphasize getting to know you as an individual. We work toward your goals by exploring, not just your behavior, but the underlying feelings and thoughts which get in the way of your ability to make the changes you desire.

I strive towards a welcoming, and non-judgmental environment. I understand that life events, addiction, and mental health, often pull us away from who we want to be. Along with how maladaptive coping, family discord, community violence, barriers to care, and other environmental and developmental stressors affect one’s physical and mental health.
