About My Clients

I believe people heal in relationships, so my hope is to create a dedicated space with you, to reflect, express, and explore.

My Background and Approach

I have an integrative approach and the frameworks I commonly pull from are RCT, DBT, narrative therapy, and IFS.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a queer woman of color, I enjoy helping folks with intersectional and/or marginalized identities navigate society in sustainable ways. As an ex-tech worker, I'm interested in healing and preventing burnout, and clarifying work/life values.
