Great to meet you!

In my 12 years of practice, I have worked with adult BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, specializing in borderline personality disorder, sexual trauma, and chronic illness.

I help clients explore the experiences that have shaped their sense of self, integrate different parts of who they are, find effective ways to navigate present stressors, and cultivate a kinder, more compassionate inner dialogue.

My approach to therapy

My approach focuses on helping clients explore the experiences that have shaped their core identity, integrate their inner selves, develop practical solutions for current stressors, and cultivate healthier, more compassionate self-talk.

What you can expect from me

As my client, you will receive the support and guidance necessary to move beyond merely surviving and begin thriving—creating space for healing, growth, and deeper self-understanding.
