In a world shaped by corrupt capitalism, white supremacy, ableism, and patriarchal oppression, my values are grounded in radical authenticity, vulnerability, and empathy. As a disabled, queer woman of color, I understand the profound impact these systems have on marginalized communities, both personally and professionally. My commitment is to hold space for those who are often overlooked, providing a sanctuary where their experiences are validated and their identities affirmed.

These values are important to me because they reflect my lived experiences and the collective struggles of the communities I am part of and serve. I believe healing is inherently political, and to foster true well-being, we must confront and dismantle the oppressive structures that harm us.

In my practice, I apply these values by creating an inclusive and supportive environment where clients can safely explore their identities, desires, and traumas. I strive to empower individuals by acknowledging their resilience and guiding them toward self-compassion and self-advocacy. Healing, for me, is a collaborative journey that not only seeks individual growth but also contributes to broader societal change.

Therapy is a space where you can explore your emotions, concerns, dreams, and more—whether individually or with your partner(s).

People seek therapy for many reasons, and it’s not always because of a crisis. Maybe you’ve lost passion for the things you once loved, or getting out of bed in the morning feels harder than it used to. Perhaps you simply want a place to talk more openly about your desires with your partner(s).

Therapy is about understanding your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors while having someone to support, empower, and guide you—always with openness and without judgment.

The benefits of therapy can include developing new coping skills, deepening emotional experiences, and getting unstuck in different areas of your life.

According to John Gottman’s research, three key elements help relationships thrive:

1. Strengthening your friendship

2. Changing how you handle conflict

3. Supporting each other’s dreams

No relationship is perfect, and conflict is inevitable. I’m here to help you improve communication, develop skills for repairing conflict, and create a deeper sense of connection with your partner(s). The more openly partners communicate, the stronger their bond—and with that, intimacy and desire can flourish.
