Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker and have been working in the human services field for over 15 yrs. I work with adults and elders. I have a background in community organizing and development. I specialize in LGBTQ communities of color. I use a holistic and tailored approach to help you achieve your goals.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is eclectic and dynamic. I use an affirming, anti-racist, and, anti-oppressive lens. Sessions with me are interactive and conversational. I strive to provide a safe space for folks to process, learn and heal.

What you can expect from our first session

Clients can expect to feel heard and seen in a supportive and accepting environment. I incorporate psychoeducation in our sessions and I always emphasize the importance of sustainable self-care.
