MY PHILOSOPHY

Everybody needs to be seen and heard.

When I needed therapy, I had a hard time finding someone who I thought could see the world through my eyes.  Going through that process inspired me to create a therapeutic space where people feel safe and seen.  I am passionate about working with diverse populations, such as people of color, transracially adopted children and families, and marginalized genders and sexualities to explore the complex intersections of race, gender, sexuality, and mental health.

The therapy relationship is very important and relies on mutual trust. My goal in supporting you is to help you become the best version of yourself that you envision. I will do this with honesty and compassion. Together, we will celebrate every step in achieving your vision of your best self, no matter how small. I am committed to guiding you with care and compassion, and my relaxed approach will help you feel comfortable and at ease.
