Additional continuing education in Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR
I work with individuals, couples, and other relational systems (friends, polycules, thruples, etc.). I love working with folks exploring racial/ethnic identity, queerness, non-monogamy, sexuality, and trauma healing. As a Brown, queer therapist, I particularly enjoy working with other QTPOCs. I believe that through collaboration we can create a therapeutic space that feels right for you. My hope is that our work together will allow you to develop greater capacity, deeper connections, and more softness in your life. You might even find greater clarity around your sense of self, your desires, and your relationships with others.

The crux of relationships (friendship, romantic, family, sibling, work, or peer) is communication, how we deliver the message to another person and how we receive their message.

Empathy is essential for building trust and rapport within the therapeutic relationship. The journey towards mental wellness is a collaborative effort between professional and client. Positive change is possible with dedicated support and guidance.
