About My Clients

Perhaps you are navigating a major life change like trying to conceive or moving through pregnancy. You might be facing a significant challenge like relationship trouble, divorce, or emotional trauma. Or, maybe, you are grappling with the intersection of your culture and sexuality. Either way, I am so glad you’re here! These experiences can be difficult and often feel isolating. You might be thinking, “no one understands.” Well, I’m here to listen.

My Background and Approach

Whether you are facing intense trauma or you simply find yourself overwhelmed with your day to day life - you are welcome here. In our work together, we will acknowledge the mind-body connection. Our bodies carry emotions, trauma, memories. In our sessions, we will pay attention to learn the ways you and your body experience highs and lows. If you choose to work with me, my goal is to create a space where you feel safe, accepted and heard. You can expect empathy, compassion and lighthearted humor in working with me, as we build skills and tools to help you move through life.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a woman of color with many hyphenated identities, I am proud to be able to provide culturally sensitive therapeutic practice, affirming all identities and backgrounds. I believe Black Lives Matter, transwomen are women (and trans men are men!), and that our suffering as a whole won’t change until we truly learn to care for one another.
