Affirming Therapy for All

I believe that everyone deserves therapy that sees and honors their whole self — including their cultural background, identity, and lived experiences. For those shaped by systemic injustice, inherited trauma, or identity-based harm, insight alone often isn't enough. The mind may understand what happened, while the body and relationships continue to organize around it.

LGBTQIA+ Affirming Care

I provide a safe, affirming space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples to explore their identities, relationships, and challenges without fear of judgment or having to educate their therapist about their experiences.

BIPOC-Centered Therapy

I understand the unique challenges faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, including the impacts of systemic racism, intergenerational trauma, and the burden of navigating predominantly white spaces.

My Approach

I work from a framework that recognizes how systems of oppression impact mental health. This isn't about pathologizing your identity — it's about understanding the real impacts of living in a world that doesn't always see or value you.

Areas of Focus

Identity exploration, coming out, transitioning, discrimination and microaggressions, family dynamics, relationship challenges, internalized oppression, and building resilience.

Why Culturally Responsive Care Matters

Traditional therapy approaches often fail to account for the ways that culture, identity, and systemic oppression shape our experiences. When therapists don't understand these dynamics, clients may feel unseen, misunderstood, or even retraumatized.

Culturally responsive therapy means bringing your whole self into the room — your identity, your history, your community, your struggles, and your strengths. It means working with someone who understands that your challenges don't exist in a vacuum, but within larger social and historical contexts.

Getting Started

I offer a free 15-minute consultation to discuss your needs and see if we're a good fit. This is a chance for you to ask questions, share what's important to you, and get a sense of whether my approach feels right for you.
