About My Clients
I provide a safe, inclusive space where clients can openly explore/express their unique experiences and challenges. Rooted in culturally sensitive and affirming care, my practice recognizes the distinct struggles and strengths within diverse communities. Through the creative process of art therapy, I support clients in navigating both personal and collective journeys, fostering emotional well-being and a deeper sense of self, all within an environment that honors and celebrates their identities.
My Background and Approach
I believe in a creative, embodied, and relationship-centered approach to therapy. Our work moves beyond talk therapy into experiences that invite creativity, movement, and body awareness. I take a culturally responsive, trauma-informed, and sex-positive stance, rooted in nervous system awareness and compassion. I honor the unique intersections of identity, including culture, race, gender, and sexuality, and view healing as both personal and collective. Whether you’re exploring desire, navigating relationship challenges, or healing from shame and disconnection, I intend to create a space where you feel safe, curious, and connected to your full humanity.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests
My therapeutic practice supports adults, couples, and members of the LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities. I bring extensive experience in delivering culturally responsive, holistic mental health care and tailor my approach to honor each person’s unique story, needs, and strengths. My work integrates art therapy, somatic embodiment, and sex therapy to help clients reconnect with their bodies, desires, and emotions. Grounded in nervous system awareness and compassion, I believe healing is both personal and collective, rooted in creativity, connection, and the inherent wisdom of the body.
