About My Clients

I am passionate in providing services for BIPOC women. I also have a dedication to providing trauma-informed care to my clients. If you've ever struggled to put your traumatic experience into words during discussions, rest assured that it's completely normal. In my practice, I provide a specialized therapy called Brainspotting, which doesn't rely heavily on verbal expression. Some individuals may feel uncomfortable sharing details about their traumas due to feelings of shame or embarrassment.

My Background and Approach

Embrace compassionate guidance on your journey to healing and growth. As a trauma-informed counselor, my specialty lies in Brainspotting and ACT, empowering you to overcome past wounds without exhaustive verbal expression. Whether you seek to navigate cultural complexities or the impact of capitalism and patriarchy, I'm here to advocate for your well-being.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe that the primary causes of many mental health issues largely stem from our societies, and the way we live in it. As a counselor, I am not only dedicated to empowering individuals but also advocates for clients impacted by the intersections of capitalism and patriarchy. I understand the far-reaching effects these systems can have on mental well-being, and my approaches delve deep into understanding the context in which my clients' responses emerge. By examining your responses through the lens of your unique environments, I will empower you to embrace your authentic selves and create meaningful change.
