About My Clients

I enjoy working with clients who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, motivation struggles, and self-esteem issues. Whether you’re new to therapy, returning after a break, or experienced in the process, I welcome you into this space. My clients are ready to challenge themselves and are committed to the work it takes to create lasting change, seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships.

My Background and Approach

Finding a therapist that’s right for you is a great first step on your journey. Welcome! I know that therapy can feel intimidating and daunting. But my goal as your therapist is to build a connection that feels authentic and natural to you, so you feel comfortable being open about who you are and what you want to achieve. In our sessions, you’ll find a warm inviting space where I’ll be honest and hold you accountable to your goals. I aim to cultivate a healthy sense of challenge that encourages you to work toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll work collaboratively to discover the solutions and strengths that already exist within you– and also try some new skills along the way. My hope is that you’ll feel grounded and supported as we tackle life’s difficulties as a team. Even if you’re unsure about therapy, I encourage you to reach out and book a free consultation call to see if we’re a good fit! Remember, you don’t have to do it all alone.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a woman of color, I am deeply passionate about dismantling racial oppression, both individually and systemically, and as a queer woman, I actively support LGBTQ+ movements. Being a first-generation American, I understand the unique pressure of balancing family expectations while navigating your own identity. These experiences inspire my commitment to decolonizing the therapeutic space, embracing the wisdom of different cultures, ethnicities, and spiritual practices. I welcome “nontraditional” approaches like music, food, dance, and spirituality, honoring the many paths to healing and well-being.
