I'm a bilingual psychotherapist who offers therapy to the LGBTQ+, BI&POC, and migrant communities with a special interest in meeting the unique needs of sex workers and multiracial folks within these communities.

Change can be rewarding, even exciting, with the right support.
You've been thinking about making a change for a while, but you haven't actually been doing anything about it. It's hard for you to put yourself first or even ask for help. You're usually the the go-to person for your family, friends, or coworkers so prioritizing your own mental health almost feels selfish. Your inner critic's voice is so loud that you know something needs to change. You usually feel like you're never doing enough, but you're feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

Often, our past relationships leave us wounded. The story that we tell ourselves becomes permeated with negative thoughts, low self-worth, and shame. As these feelings manifest, we become anxious and depressed. We might experience isolation, loneliness, and a loss of connection to others and to ourselves. Therapy can help us discover perspectives that create a new narrative, one in which we have different ways to manage our emotions and lead a more enjoyable life.
I enjoy working with people facing racial identity development, overcoming racial trauma, exploring, and supporting sexuality, relationships, eating disorders, body image, disembodiment concerns, depression, and anxiety. This experience includes body betrayal, internalized phobic messaging, trauma narratives. Whether you are seeking therapy specific to any of these concerns or not, we may explore how your are responding to anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and other emotions.
People who are called to work with me are--and I say this with so much love!--the freaks & weirdos of the world--folks who feel like they don't really fit in. Spiritual explorers, and anyone interested in challenging cultural norms/the status quo. Those who are searching for a sense of connection and belonging, particularly through deepening their connection to their own bodies, the earth and our other-than-human kin.
I thrive in my work with creative, high-achieving adults who are curious about how to foster a greater sense of self-compassion and self-esteem. My clients often step into therapy when they're experiencing stress or anxiety, are finding it difficult to cope with personal or professional burnout, or are struggling to show up fully and authentically in their relationships. Ultimately, my hope is that therapy becomes a collaborative space where you feel seen, valued, and supported.

I am drawn to those who are in transition or processing a loss of some sort; of romantic relationships, careers, loss of family members, or grieving parenting they didn't receive. I love to work with people who are struggling with issues of self esteem, shame, and anxiety. I find it very rewarding to help individuals to develop a stronger relationship with themselves using self compassion and acceptance and then to help individuals empower themselves to make wanted changes.

I welcome and support my LGBTQIA+, transgender, non-binary, and BIPOC clients.
In addition to the many problems that complicate our daily lives such as anxiety, panic attacks, depression, patients come to me with complex relationship issues including marital distress, divorce recovery, verbal & emotional abuse, loss of child, parent, or spouse. The holistic approach that I use will address the root problem, not just the symptoms. I offer perspective on your experience, and provide clear, concise directions on meeting your treatment goals.

I believe one is the driver and they can control how they want to live; however,I understand often times family, substances, depression, anxiety, relationships, raising children, career/employment, financial, and personal struggles can be obstacles.My objective is to work with you in becoming aware and in creating solutions,which can counterattack these obstacles. Depending on your motivation this process can be short or long. It all depends on how much you want to live a productive Life!!! FYI:
My clients are burnt out from seeking external validation, people pleasing and avoiding conflict. They question how they should feel or are overwhelmed when they do feel and have likely been told somewhere along the way that they are ‘too much’ or ‘too sensitive.’ They desire relief from uncertainty, anxiety and a sense of aloneness but the tools they have aren’t providing sustainable change.
Ever feel like no matter what you do, it’s just not enough? It might be that a transition or loss in your life has you feeling off-balance. You may feel like you’re struggling in your relationship with a partner or with family or friends. You are seeking support and a place to heal. Whether it’s relationship goals, a new chapter in life, or just a desire to understand yourself better, I’m committed to using evidence-based approaches and authentic human-to-human connection to help you get there.
