Likewise! I'm interested in exploring, discussing, & learning about where you’re currently at in your life and what you would like to work on in preparation for your next era. Many of the adults I work with come from marginalized communities navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, self-esteem issues, work-related stressors and major life transitions. I've operated both professionally & personally in many systems like the US Govt., Health Insurance Corporations, Community-Based Organizations, and Predominantly White & Ivy League Institutions. I recognize that different environments can challenge us to examine parts of ourselves & the ways we function in life. I want to join you on your journey to self-empowerment by offering my support & expertise aimed at fortifying your strengths.

My approach to therapy is Action-Oriented CBT mixed with Strategic Behavioral Therapy within a Trauma-Informed Framework, focusing on your current position in life, the context in which the different parts of you exist, and identifying the direction you would like to grow in. I draw on modalities like Emotion-Focused Therapy, Behavioral Activation, and Interpersonal Psychotherapy through an integrative approach to help you develop the self-empowerment necessary to fuel your journey towards healing and evolution.

My practice is rooted in the understanding that as humans we experience life on the many different intersections between our immigration status, race & ethnicity, gender & masculinity norms, religion, sexual orientation, disability, geographic location, and power & systemic stressors. When you first come into session with me, you will not be expected to hang these intersections up like a coat on a rack at the door. You can be sure that they are welcomed in session. Different parts of us experience the world and are experienced by the world differently. I want to talk about that, and I want to talk about how you experience life in those varying intersections. The experiences we have as humans, regardless of what they are, all happen under the same sun & moon we share. You can expect to meet the human in both of us when you meet with me.
