I enjoy working with individuals who are actively seeking growth, self-awareness, personal transformation, and a deeper connection to themselves. If you’re on a quest to understand yourself better, overcome barriers, explore intersectionality of various parts of your identity, or cultivate resilience, you’ve come to the right place. I love working with adolescents, adults, couples, and families by challenging intergenerational patterns and beliefs systems. I am LGBTQ+ affirming, gender celebratory, and sex positive. Together we'll explore your values, ambition, and the broader context of your life experiences.

I believe in creating a warm and inviting environment where individuals can feel safe to express themselves directly and openly. My approach is integrative, drawing from various therapeutic modalities, including minority stress theory, narrative theory, decolonizing therapy, and systems theory, tailoring my methods to fit your unique needs and journey.

Together we’ll work on deconstructing unhealthy narratives/norms; systems of power and privilege while developing strategies to help you move forward with the power to speak your own truth and express your own voice. We will explore what is holding you back and create a roadmap that aligns with your authentic self. I’ll walk through the storm with you!

I work to challenge systems and the intersectionality of identity development in order to help dive deeper into themselves with the hope of finding alignment to their most authentic self. During our initial sessions, we will explore the issues at hand and collaboratively work towards releasing the pieces that no longer serve you.
