I seek to offer and build a safe(r) space to hold your experiences and identities. We deserve a better world which needs the unique intersections of who you are.

We all have an inheritance of intergenerational experiences and trauma from our family, culture, and ancestry. We also inherited intergenerational resiliency. We can see this in the continued existence and persistence of peoples and cultures systemically oppressed who yet and still continue to survive, look for possibility, and meaning in their lives. You may notice that a part of our work together is dismantling the stereotypes and limitations constructed by a society that benefits a very small group of us.

Let's Connect

Good faith estimate: It is important that you are provided with services that are financially transparent. A Good Faith Estimate states that providers need to give clients who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for psychotherapy and other medical services. You have the right to know the total expected cost of psychotherapy. You can ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service or any time during treatment. Please do not let finances stop you from receiving the support you deserve. In order to challenge the impacts of systemic oppression, I believe in the Equitable pricing model and use it in my practice. We will collaborate on what is financially and psychologically accessible for you in therapy.

I believe in bringing the whole self to therapy and that healing is about the process. We are all constantly navigating this world and how we resource ourselves may shift across different points in our lifetime. When we explore together, I use an integrative therapy approach because when dealing with the complexity of being human and the issues that arise, a single therapy approach does not address the whole self.
