About My Clients

I have a special affinity for QTBIPOC and neurodivergent geeks, gamers, cosplayers, pups, and furries. I’m in the process of becoming a Certified Geek Therapist. We do things like using therapeutic games, elements of your fandoms, and visualization exercises to explore who you are, express yourself, and increase self-confidence.

My Background and Approach

With a focus on trauma and Liberation Psychology, I support clients in overcoming internalized beliefs, particularly in healing from Complex PTSD. My training includes Trauma-Focused CBT and EMDR, emphasizing identity-based traumas. I'm passionate about making this type of therapy available to communities of color, and otherwise minoritized communities.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a queer geek of color myself (Multiracial Xicanx), I know what it's like to feel alienated and othered, and I want you to feel truly understood in our sessions. LGBTQ+ folx, allies, and members of the kink & polyamorous communities - you're all welcome here!
