Whether you are struggling with the weight of 'masking' your true self or simply feeling disconnected from the people you love most, therapy shouldn’t be another place where you have to perform. My approach is collaborative and culturally grounded, designed to help you unmask and build a life that feels authentic to who you are.

process unresolved trauma, manage mood symptoms, confront racial/cultural issues, learn adaptive skills for your unique brain wiring, navigate family conflict and relationship issues, and more. After identifying your specific needs, we'll focus on developing insight, acceptance, motivation, and empowerment to effectively face whatever life brings your way.

curious, affirming, understanding, and strengths-focused, with a healthy dose of humor and positivity. I trust that you're the expert on your life, and I have the privilege of co-creating a safe, consistent space for you to bring your whole self, heal what hurts, grow past your current limitations, and move toward what matters most in your life.

feel "different" from the people and world around them, for reasons big and small: skin color, hair, family background, speech patterns, thoughts, emotions, beliefs, or any other unique qualities. I help people recognize the value of owning and affirming their own identity, embracing their unique strengths, and learning to live "different" on purpose.
