Accepting Clients

As a trans woman of color, I am striving hard to live well and grieve, and I understand how tough it is to be looking for a new therapist.

About My Clients

Through an empirically grounded and disciplined relational therapy, my clients feel lighter and truly understood for having me on their team in pursuit of them being well and happy, without judgement or condescension. I’m passionate about working with clients who are structurally underserved (BIPOC, Queer, Disabled…) or experiencing distress in their close relationships, but I have years of experience working with clients on a wide variety of topics.

My Background and Approach

Therapy is one of the few protected spaces in our society where you can explore and process anything happening in your life with the warmth and curiosity of another person. I work primarily from a Person-Centered (Rogerian) therapeutic background. I seek foremost to understand my clients first, without assumptions about who they are our how they should live their lives, to collaboratively explore your yourself and the situation you find yourself in. Through our relationship-- both client-therapist and person-person-- we will explore together how you're feeling both in and out of my office. Although my technique comes from a lineage of skilled practitioners, my clients report it as feeling very conversational.
