Great to meet you!

I am passionate about intersectional mental health and empower marginalized communities. I prioritize working with black and brown communities , LGBTQIA+ communities, and individuals who exist at the intersection of these identities.

My approach to therapy

I utilized an eclectic therapy style to meet clients where they are, integrating solution-focused behavioral therapy, somatic therapeutic approaches, internal family systems, narrative therapy, liberation health model, dialectical behavioral therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

What you can expect from me

I strive to meet you where you are at in your journey and help you get to where you want to be.

In our sessions together, you can expect a collaborative and supportive environment where your insights and experiences are valued. I believe that everyone knows themselves best, and my role is to help you identify the skills that work for you while developing strategies to fill any gaps.
