I work with individuals and couples facing depression; stress; trauma; life transitions; social & generalized anxiety; neurodivergence (e.g., ADHD & Autism); family stressors; grief; relationship & intimacy issues; LGBTQIA+ individuals; and navigating life as an immigrant and/or person of color. I meet you where you are at. If you would like to know more about what this could mean for you, I encourage you to reach out to me for a free 15-minute consultation.
I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP); a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP); and an Autism Spectrum Disorder (Difference) Clinical Specialist (ASDCS). I also specialize in queer and POC identity concerns.
I will help you foster the confidence, courage, and skills that you need to move forward with your life. During the therapeutic work, you will find a balance of practical intervention, deep technical exploration, and genuine care. Together, we will identify what's holding you back and what you can do to live a more healthy and fulfilling life.
