Introduction

You may be carrying the weight of complex trauma, painful relationship patterns, or the exhaustion and chronic stress that comes from navigating systems never built for you. Intimacy might feel confusing, authentic pleasure and connection distant, and emotions challenging. If you’re navigating this world with multiple marginalized identities on top of complicated family dynamics, unfulfilling romantic relationships, or transitions around parenthood, you likely feel overwhelmed and disconnected from your needs. You deserve a place where where you can heal deeply and don’t have to explain or shrink parts of who you are. I help queer folks of color with complex trauma build healthy and pleasurable relationships. In individual or couples therapy you will increase you awareness around your behavioral and relational patterns and develop tools for clearer communication, greater intimacy, and increased pleasure. Therapy here is about real change you can feel, not just talk about. You deserve therapy that centers your pleasure, healing, and liberation. If you are ready to heal and develop the skills you need to break cycles of intergenerational trauma, click 'send message' above. I will respond in 1-2 business days to schedule our 30-min consultation. If I’m not the right fit for you, I will help you find someone who is.
