About My Clients
You’ve had to be the strong one. Maybe you’re grieving someone, or some version of yourself and no one ever asked how you were. You’re queer, first-gen, or neurodivergent, and it’s exhausting to keep performing strength. My clients often feel invisible, burned out, or like they’re “too much.” If you’ve been carrying pain in silence, I offer a space where you can lay it down—and finally feel what’s yours, without apology.
My Background and Approach
I became a therapist after navigating my own unspoken grief—especially the kind that hits young, queer, or first-gen people when no one checks in. My father died when I was 14. No one asked how I was doing, and that silence shaped everything. Now, I work with people who’ve had to hold it all together for everyone else. My approach blends grief-informed care, relational and identity-affirming therapy, and frameworks rooted in community, cultural survival, and emotional justice. I show up with transparency, warmth, and honesty—no performance, no perfection. Whether you’re burned out, grieving, disconnected, or figuring out how to live more truthfully, our work is collaborative. We’ll build emotional skill where it’s never been taught, speak hard truths without shame, and create a space that feels like it was built for you.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe that grief is not just about death—it’s about identity, invisibility, and all the parts of us we’ve lost along the way. I believe that queer and first-gen people carry complex pain that’s too often minimized. I don’t believe you need to be fixed, or that healing should look perfect. Therapy with me isn’t about pretending to have the answers—it’s about being real enough to ask the right questions. I’ve been the person who didn’t know how to bring up the hard stuff, and I believe in holding space for others who feel that way too. I believe in therapy that reflects our culture, our complexity, and our resistance. I don’t separate healing from activism, and I don’t expect you to leave any part of yourself at the door. Also, I believe in finding hope in small moments—and that sometimes, even little things can be part of the solution.
