I am motivated to work with adults experiencing racism, discrimination, anxiety, stress, depression, grief; feelings of being overwhelmed and sad, frustrated and lonely. I meet my clients where they are to collaborate on their wellness needs to meet their goals. I believe that we all have the capacity to become the best versions of ourselves within our families, relationships and community. I am actively growing my knowledge and keeping up with research around how people of marginalized groups can be better served through therapy. I offer care that recognizes our unique needs, culture and ideas of what healing looks.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, I will go over any questions you may have about me, as a therapist, your strengths, your challenges, and what your goals are. With your collaboration, this will help me look at how we will work together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am able to listen from a place of understanding and empathy and I am able to connect genuinely.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Humanistic
I am a person-centered/humanistic therapist, which means I focus on who the therapy participant is now and who the therapy participant is striving to be. I work with adults who are longing to understand how the individual and family narratives and life experiences are important to understanding themselves. My goal is to make therapy participants feel seen, heard and understood.
Culturally Sensitive Therapy
Providing care for those whose identities and culture are not of the majority collective is something I am passionate about. I provide culturally responsive therapy that recognizes that groups and human beings have been placed in disadvantaged communities, by design. I seek to support folks who have experienced intergenerational trauma, race-based stress and trauma, life’s pressures, social injustices, and who are in a transitional space and are requesting a listening ear.
Racial trauma treatment
Experiences of race-based discrimination can have horrible impacts on individuals and their communities. In some cases, long term experiences of racism can lead to symptoms like those who have experienced post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which looks like depression, anger, recurring thoughts of the event, physical reactions (e.g. headaches, chest pains, insomnia), hypervigilance, low-self-esteem, and mentally distancing from the traumatic events. In my practice, it is safe to talk about this and to know that you are validated in the experience. Being seen and heard is important when healing and coping.
