I have experience working with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, and I strive to provide affirming, culturally responsive care. As a BIPOC and LGBTQ+ allied therapist, I am committed to supporting you in feeling seen, heard, and empowered in your healing journey.
I am dedicated to creating a therapeutic space that honors social justice and centers the importance of decolonizing therapy. My work is grounded in the belief that healing is not only personal but also connected to the broader systems that shape our lives.
I draw from a range of approaches tailored to your unique needs. My foundation lies in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), combined with psychodynamic and attachment-based perspectives. Together, we will explore how early attachment experiences influence the thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors you carry today—helping you gain deeper insight and perspective.
I welcome you into a non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to share your vulnerabilities. Starting therapy can seem like a daunting venture, but I am here to support you along the way!
