About My Clients

I believe in the empowerment of historically minoritized and oppressed populations, such as racial/ethnic minorities, LGBTQ populations, and persons with disabilities. I serve people who are seeking affirmative therapeutic spaces to manage challenges with depression, anxiety, and interpersonal relationships.

My Background and Approach

I have significant experience working with adults, youth, and families in a variety of settings, including education, foster care, and clinical settings. I use a strength-based, trauma-informed perspective to offer unconditional, nonjudgmental support so that individuals can hone in on their strengths to create meaningful changes in their lives. Lastly, I practice a hollistic approach to healing that includes the care and maintenance of mind, body, and soul.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in advocacy as a form of collective healing from systemic traumas. I am involved in advocacy efforts that support undocumented, LGBTQ folks and the abolition of the police state.
