New to Grow
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I believe that mental health is an important aspect to the quality of life we each live. As a first-generation trans person of color, I understand how difficult and intimidating it can feel to reach out for support and I truly recognize the courage it takes to take this step.I have worked in the mental health field in different capacities and in different levels of care for the past 16 years with clients ages 3+. My focus is to empower adults to feel safe, respected and accepted to be their full authentic selves.
Our first session is a gentle space for you to share your story and explore what you hope to gain from our time together. It’s also an opportunity for me to get to know you and begin building a sense of trust and connection. My intention is to create an environment where you feel supported, respected, and truly accepted. From there, we’ll move forward collaboratively, working together toward the goals we identify in a way that feels meaningful and aligned for you.
Everyone has their own unique needs and lived experiences, and I approach each person with care, meeting them exactly where they are with openness and respect. My approach is collaborative, and we’ll work together to thoughtfully support your needs and goals along your journey. I deeply value your autonomy and believe you deserve both the space and support to make choices that truly align with what matters most to you.
I am a therapist dedicated to the empowerment of BIPOC, queer, and trans individuals. I focus on making space for our intersectionality of identities and how they relate to our own mental health by providing specialized support for those experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and other emotional disorders. In a world where safety, respect, and acceptance is not always the standard, I want to invite you to take the step in creating a space where you can show up as your whole self.
Strength-Based
In a world where judgement and criticism are constant, I use a strength-based approach to focus on supporting clients as they acknowledge and identify their inherent strengths. We often overlook our own capabilities when we struggle with comparisons to others, this perspective shifts our focus away from our perceived flaws. Our work will support you to reclaim a sense of agency and build a foundation for growth based on what is already working.
