About My Clients
My private practice is a holistic mental health and wellness practice that centers BIPOC Queer and Trans individuals, families, and communities navigating a multitude of stressors. This includes anxiety, depression, familial concerns, identity development, intergenerational/social trauma, grief/loss, spirituality, and healing from spiritual injury among others. I also offer supervision for Social Workers working to obtain clinical licensure in the states of California and Connecticut.
My Background and Approach
I have extensive experience providing culturally attuned and affirming care for those who identity as part of LGBQIA+ communities of color. I also specialize in providing Trans-affirming therapy for trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming folx and those who have questions about gender identity. This includes consultation and assessments for gender affirming medical care such as surgeries or hormone therapy as needed. Additionally, I enjoy working with/providing consultation for family members and partners who have questions or are supporting a loved one's identity or transition. My approach to therapy is grounded in collective liberatory and social justice frameworks that consider an individual's lived experience within their sociopolitical, cultural, and environmental context. My practice is relational, strengths-based, and client-centered; it is informed by psychodynamic, feminist relational, family systems, mindfulness-based, trauma-informed, and cognitive behavioral therapies.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
It can be a big risk to take the first step toward deepening our relationship with ourselves. I honor that risk, the courage it takes, and the decision to embrace one's vulnerability. I honor this act with a deep knowing that moving into unknown territory and learning how to befriend ourselves is profound. It is radical. It is our birthright. Together we will work to cultivate a safe environment that will allow space for you to deepen your connection to inner wisdom, develop skills and practices to support holistic wellness, and continuously expand your capacity for personal growth, self-discovery, and healing. I will be glad to connect for a consultation to see if I can be of support on your path. May Healing Abound.
