Great to meet you!

I am a multicultural, holistic, LGBT+ affirmative therapist and a core believer in the resiliency of the human spirit. I obtained my Master’s degree in Mental Health and Counseling with an advanced certification in LGBT Counseling from New York University.

My approach to therapy

I integrate a diverse range of therapeutic approaches, combining both traditional and nontraditional modalities to address your unique needs. This includes trauma-sensitive mindfulness practices, psychodynamic care, an awareness of intersectionality, attachment-based systems work, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) models. This comprehensive approach allows for a more personalized and effective therapeutic experience, addressing various aspects of your mental health and well-being.

What you can expect from me

I am a firm believer in recognizing the client as both a recipient and an influencer in the therapeutic relationship. In my role as a therapist, I see myself as a guide, empowering you to navigate and overcome both internal and external barriers. My approach is rooted in understanding the intersectionality of different identities and their impact on mental health.
