I am honored to be in a position where I have the privilege of supporting my community in achieving their goals. This work is a partnership between you and me (maybe even my corgi who makes few appearances and adheres to HIPAA, not to worry). - I partner with a diverse set of individuals, and couples, wanting to work on identity exploration, multicultural acceptance and integration, relationship and intimacy challenges, and generational trauma. Changes are inevitable, transitions are psychological.
