What should a new client know about working with you?

As a first generation, first-born, bi-racial woman, I have always wanted to be understood by my providers on a deeper level. I strive to provide therapy for people who want someone who will get them - especially in situations with other providers have been dismissive. My greatest strengths as a provider is my anti-oppressive and BIPOC perspective and extensive experience and training serving BIPOC, 2SLGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent communities.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

When you book a session or make a referral, you can anticipate a respectful, dignified experience where connection and understanding are essential. I meet people where they're at and support their bravery as they do difficult things and make changes in their lives. I am passionate about creating a safe, professional environment where clients are empowered as the experts of their own lives, with guidance tailored to what matters to them.
