Feeling anxious, depressed, stressed, and/or othered? Are you struggling to find a therapist who really understands the intersections of your identity as a Black or Brown individual? Or a person in a close relationship with an individual with a marginalized identity? You deserve a therapist who looks like you and sees you for who you truly are. I'm here to be that therapist for you.
I enjoy working with clients who are up for a little work. I have a strong belief in the idea that therapy isn't something that is done to us, rather something we must take an active role in to see any true progress. I view therapy as another way to add more tools to our toolbox in an effort to better ourselves. My goal isn't to have a client for life; it is to teach the skills needed for my client to be their best selves, even after we have finished working together.

I specialize in treating ADHD and other neurodivergence related disorders. I have also found to be effective for clients who have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, as well as other mental health struggles. I utilize holistic practices, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Interpersonal Social Rhythm Therapy that can help you develop a healthier connection with your mind and body to help you live your most authentic and fulfilling life.
My clients are often people who feel out of step with mainstream life. Many of them practice ethical non-monogamy or identify as kinky. Some are gender fluid, or transitioning. About half see me individually while the others see me together with their partner(s). We focus on a wide variety of topics related to relationships, sex and intimacy, communication, and conflict resolution.
I know it can feel so frustrating, wanting to live, and parts of you are holding you back. While coping skills are important, many of my clients have noticed they still feel stuck even when they are doing what they can to feel better. They tend to find that my ability to hold space for them prepares them for releasing past traumas and hurts through the combination of EMDR and Internal Family Systems. While I come from a faith background, I affirm folks who have suffered religious trauma.
The couples, partners, and individuals I work with have various presenting concerns and intersecting identities, but many of them are Latinx/Latina, polyamorous, kinky, neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ and/or QTPOC. I am passionate about supporting folks who have experienced personal, systemic, sexual, and relational difficulties due to traumatic life events (including systemic oppression) with somatic modalities and techniques to help increase regulation, pleasure, intimacy, ease, and sexual wellness.
