As a queer woman of color, I can understand what it feels like to navigate spaces where parts of your identity are affirmed while others feel unseen. There were times that I felt as though I had to choose which part of myself to bring forward, rather than being able to exist fully as I am. Navigating multiple marginalized identities can sometimes mean searching harder for spaces where you don't have to edit yourself.

My lived experiences inform my work as a therapist. That’s why I’m passionate about supporting BIPOC clients in the LGBTQIA+ community.

The more intersecting identities you hold, the more complex it can feel to find safety and belonging. I want to offer a space where all parts of you are welcome.

On the days I work from my home office, you may catch glimpses of my cat*, who likes to sit on my lap sometimes. Her name is Louise! She’s a black cat and is about 12 years old.

*If you’d prefer sessions without her, just let me know, I’ll check in with you during our intake.

I believe therapy works best when it’s real, honest, and grounded in who you are. Therapy is inherently political, and I bring a social justice lens to the work I do because I know how much the world around us impacts our well-being. If you’re looking for a therapist who firmly believes in human rights and equity for all, you’ve come to the right place.
