On my path as a therapist and healer, one mantra has stayed close to my heart: YOU are the expert of your life. This simple truth guides everything I do — I believe your story, your voice, and your wisdom matter deeply. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your agency, align with your truest self, and explore what healing looks like on your own terms. Rooted in mindfulness and intention, I aim to co-create a space that feels settling, expansive, and real; where you can challenge old patterns, grow into your values, and care for the version of you that is learning to thrive. I also write ESA letters — just ask me.
I show up to this work with deep respect for your lived experience, while gently naming the systemic and cultural forces that shape our lives. I approach therapy through a decolonial, neurodivergent-affirming lens; supporting you in moving toward radical self-acceptance, fluid embodiment, and sustainable care, in a sacred space that holds all of who you are.
As a 1.5-generation, neuroqueer, Afro-Latina ADHDer, I understand what it means to navigate a world not built with you in mind. This space is for you — to reclaim, to root, and to rise. I am deeply passionate about facilitating authentic, genuine and inclusive healing for PoGM, QTBIPOC, first/second generation, 2S/LGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent adults.

While I do not bill insurance, I offer an equitable session fee as part of my dedication to enhance accessibility for holistic healing; I believe everyone deserves freedom from the daily stresses of surviving a capitalist-oriented society. I accept The Loveland Foundation therapy vouchers as well.
