Something brought you here. Perhaps you've been carrying a question for years: Why do I keep ending up in the same relationships? Why do I feel disconnected, anxious, lonely, or dissatisfied despite everything I've accomplished? Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and self-aware. They've spent years trying to understand themselves, yet something still feels unresolved. That distance between who you've learned to be and who you are underneath it all—that's where our work begins. Together, we follow the thread and discover what has been shaping your life all along.

This includes neurodivergent individuals, LGBTQ+ clients, and adults navigating the impact of a sexual offense history.
Many people come to therapy after spending years trying to make sense of experiences that continue to affect their lives. Something may feel off, even if you can’t fully explain why. You may find yourself carrying shame, self-doubt, or patterns that no longer serve you, while struggling to understand where they came from. I work with people from many different backgrounds, including those attending therapy by choice and those who are required to be there. My goal is to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself and create a life worth living.

My person-centered approach, grounded is flexible and responsive to what you, the client, bring to the table, what your goals in therapy are, and what “forks in the road” you are faced with. I have a strong background in dealing with trauma in all forms, from the most severe to the seemingly small but incredibly painful psychological cuts that injure our relationships with our own selves and with others. I rely on creating a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients, one based on honesty, deference to their autonomy, and respect for their privacy.

Therapy is a great space to start untangling life’s messy knots. Whether you are feeling stuck, navigating relationships, questioning your choices, therapy is a chance to process, grow, and reclaim your life and relationships. I can help you identify what is keeping you stuck and develop a plan to get you moving forward. My approach is practical, collaborative, strengths-based, and sprinkled with a little humor because growth doesn’t have to be always painful. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore, process, and grow authentically whether it is just for you or for couples.

In my therapy work I strive to assist clients in reclaiming their identities and writing their own narrative. I especially enjoy working with people re-authoring narratives about trauma, identity (including but not limited to race, gender, and sexuality) and families of origins. As a Black & Latinx therapist, it is important for me to create a space where one can be curious of the status quo and question the immutability of our beliefs.

I primarily work with adult individuals and adult couples (for sexual health concerns). Telehealth only. I believe, as human beings, we want to feel respected, loved, valued, appreciated, and understood. I believe most of us want to make a difference in the lives of those around us - our loved ones, friends and community. Navigating life can be difficult at times. We can all benefit from a safe, knowledgeable, and compassionate guide. I strive to help people become more connected to themselves, so that we can connect more authentically to others and expand our capacity to feel better and cultivate lasting fulfillment.
