About My Clients

I work with clients who might be finding it challenging to navigate our busy, chaotic world. It's crucial to have safe spaces where we can take a step back and find a little reprieve from life's hectic pace. My approach is all about being client-centered and trauma-informed, tailoring treatments to meet each client's needs and desired outcomes. Let's work together to find what works for you!

My Background and Approach

As a queer, BIPOC, and neurodivergent therapist, I am deeply committed to supporting marginalized communities. I create a warm and welcoming space where everyone feels valued and understood. I utilize trauma-informed and culturally sensitive therapy techniques, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, to empower my clients on their personal journeys. My approach is collaborative, and I strive to understand each individual's unique experiences and challenges. Together, we work on developing effective coping strategies that suit your needs, while also fostering personal growth and resilience. I genuinely care about helping you navigate life's difficulties and achieve your goals in a supportive environment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I’m a friendly therapist who believes in harm reduction, is sex-positive, and supports weight neutrality. I wholeheartedly back the Black Lives Matter movement and embrace a decolonized, person-centered approach to therapy. This journey is all about you, and I’m here to offer support along the way. Together, let’s create a safe and welcoming space for everyone who needs it!
