About me
I am a seasoned, culturally competent, and LGBTQ+ proficient psychotherapist dedicated to providing affirming, inclusive, and holistic mental health care. With a deep understanding of the unique intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and identity, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients can explore their authentic selves, heal from trauma, and cultivate resilience. My practice is rooted in cultural humility, empowerment, and evidence-based approaches tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals and communities who have historically been underrepresented and underserved in mental health care.
As a seasoned professional, I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support clients in reaching their personal goals. I believe that cultivating peace and joy through clarity is a powerful and essential pathway to healing. By combining evidence-based practices with a holistic perspective, I guide clients in deepening their self-understanding, building effective coping strategies, and fostering lasting growth. My approach is grounded in the belief that when individuals gain clarity, they are empowered to move toward greater resilience, fulfillment, and well-being.
