About My Clients

While you're able to function well and be successful in most areas of your life, emotionally you may notice things feel off. You may be struggling to manage a variety of different issues and are seeking to heal from a multiple circumstances in order to fully invest in life. If you are looking for a safe supportive environment that affirms and validates all aspects of your identity, Ocean Soul Counseling is the right practice for you; I'm here to support you in meeting your wellness goals.

My Background and Approach

At Ocean Soul Counseling, LLC, I strive to provide a culturally affirming supportive space to validate the experiences and identities of all individuals I work with. Always working towards inclusivity, I feel strongly about dismantling structural systems of oppression while actively working towards decolonizing mental health. As a clinician of color with solid experience in the field, I understand the importance of integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities and perspectives, in order to fully support all aspects and intersections of identity. Because the roots of mental health treatment can often be traced back to Eurocentrism, heteronormativity, misogyny and patriarchy, it is important to recognize that some theoretical orientations, in their pure form, do not work for people with a variety of identities. Because of this, I seek to ensure that I am supporting each individual person and their identities while taking into context the environment in which they exist.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe the decolonization of mental health is crucial for best support. While I am able to offer a seasoned perspective of experience and education, I never claim to be an expert on someone's life. Instead, I view myself as an active support who is there to assist my clients on their wellness journey. This includes helping to identify maladaptive patterns to activating circumstances and to find more effective and reality based ways of managing and coping. I believe the relationship in therapy is imperative, and work diligently to create an affirming, supportive, safe space free of judgment, fear and/or pressure.
