I offer Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Child, Parent Counseling and Individual Therapy.
You may be dealing with anxiety, depression, racialized trauma or generational trauma that make it harder to function. For too long, the idea of mental wellness was viewed as a luxury only allotted to the few. Someone was considered “strong” if they endured a traumatic or life-changing event, regardless of functionality. We are now beginning to understand that those events can change the way we relate to everything. You may continue to engage in your day to day expectations like taking care of children, going to work, going to school, but you may not be sleeping well, may no longer enjoy things that brought you peace or happiness.

Therapy can help during different stages of your process to find peace, clarity, and a contented life. Living in chronic fight or flight mode can cause emotional dysregulation and a feeling of losing control or direction in life, as well as being correlated with inflammatory and preventable illness. We will work together to gain an understanding of what issues are impacting everyday life, limiting potential for healthy relationships or a satisfying job, and causing changes in your thoughts and feelings. Choosing to come to therapy to find your empowered self is an act of courage.

You deserve a life of self-love, compassion, and healing. I specialize in working with people experiencing major life changes (new career, new family configuration, losing a loved one, romantic relationship ending or beginning, new migration to the US), depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, and adjustment issues. I often serve BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and LGBTQIA+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, Asexual, plus), refugee, and immigrant communities and young adults.

Are you hoping to better communicate, manage conflict and revamp your connection with your partner? Or are you in the midst of a major life transition? My clients struggle like you. Despite their brilliance, creativity and drive, the pressures of adapting to life's changes or communicating with their partner seem overwhelming. Before my clients came to see me, they figured that it was “too late” to make a change, and their life “is what it is.” They feared that if they took any drastic steps to improve their lives, it would be considered “selfish.” The fear of change, but also the fear of never changing created tension and anxiety.

As a multicultural therapist, I help individuals and couples recognize how institutions of power, environment, family dynamics and personal histories influence and shape identity, values and decision making. My approach supports clients to identify and challenge narratives negatively impacting their life, allowing them to uncover their path for transformation. I work with individuals and couples of all identities and relationship types, who are wanting a change and a desire to deepen their awareness and connection, work through trauma, explore setbacks, and build a safe space for liberation, empowerment, and resilience.

As a neurodivergent, queer, non-binary therapist, I understand the importance of a therapist who understands an intersectional experience of life. My practice is dedicated to providing a safe space, particularly for marginalized communities. In addition to neurodivergent and LGBTQIA communities, I also provide a safe space to explore kink, sexuality, and non-monogamy.

Whatever the present condition of our life, we have had an intrinsic role in creating it, whether we see it or not. The good news is that once we have enough awareness to take ownership, we can consciously create what is next. Our greatest ally is self awareness and clarity. My role as a therapist is to help you identify and resolve your obstacles (internal and external) and to help you clarify your life purpose and direction. In an empathic relationship that stresses authenticity, our processes will lead to in depth exploration and releasing.

Currently accepting new clients. I work with people living with trauma, depression and the struggle to love the body he/she/they live in with Yoga Therapy. I am passionate about working with people to embody and hold all the aspects of themselves with loving kindness, compassion and resilience. Many of the people I work with come in with beliefs of "there is something wrong with me," or "I am not good enough." As a dually trained licensed mental health therapist and certified yoga therapist I approach mental health from a holistic and body-centered framework.

Informed by liberating-direct-action with workers, survivors of mental health incarceration, and skilled professionals, I value lived-experience just as much as highfalutin philosophy. I believe in the universal human drive to transform + heal through caring community connections, self-awareness, access to dreams by way of meeting basic needs, and the responsibility to recover personal and collective strengths. Healing of the self is healing of communities, and ultimately our interrelated societies. In place of paternalism, I offer avenues for developing your self-trust.

Therapy offers a unique opportunity to engage you and the stories that have shaped you – to explore with curiosity and kindness, to be seen and heard, to heal and grow. Clients express a growing desire for more beyond familiar experiences that leave them feeling stuck or exhausted. They find that the courage to honestly tend to current hopes and struggles, including their past, to be a significant and meaningful decision. Relationships are deeply impactful in our lives, contributing to our development as well as our wounding; it is relationship that also fosters a foundation for healing and change.

I believe that almost all decisions make sense when viewed within context, and that therefore people, what they do, and how they think, fundamentally make sense. With that said, it’s always my first hope to join individuals in more fully understanding themselves, and the context behind what brought them to this work. At times the next step will involve a straightforward attempt to reduce painful symptoms. More often, I believe it is important to take the time to understand our symptoms and what they are communicating, before even deciding what to do next.

Do you feel like you can't quit thinking about painful things that happened to you? Do you wish you could be more like the "you" before the trauma happened?
Trauma can make you feel lonely and afraid. You can feel torn between wanting to talk about what happened versus keeping it all locked inside. I know it's hard to take that first step to get help, but once you start to talk about it with someone who knows how to help you heal, you can begin to work to reclaim the life you feel you lost.
