Are you a person of color seeking a space that can welcome the whole of your identities?

Are you queer, trans, non-binary, gay, or confused about your sexuality and gender identity?

Are you working to unravel what “mental health” looks like for you?

Hello! I invite you to a therapeutic space where we can explore the hidden and vulnerable parts of your life, while also celebrating the strong and magical aspects.

As a therapist, I work from a foundation that is trauma-informed, queer-affirmative, and culturally sensitive. My work with clients focuses on gaining a deeper understanding of my clients’ constructions of the world and their selves. Together, we will work to expand these constructions in a way that is helpful, secure, and healing. This means drawing on theoretical constructs that would be most helpful for you – including (but not limited to!) IFS, EFT, somatic work, and mindfulness.

Along with being a clinician, I am also an immigrant, a person of color, queer, and neurodivergent, and have a deep interest in serving those within my communities. I can also be found with the hats of an amateur yogi, gardener, chess player, and chef, and bring the creativity of all these roles into my work.

I look forward to going on this journey with you!

because i’d rather be me than their beautiful

because i’d rather be my own beautiful”
