Introduction

I specialize in working with people of color, LGBTQ+ folks, those exploring or in non-monogamous relationships, and anyone who’s ready to unpack the harder stuff with someone who doesn’t need a cultural crash course first. Therapy with me is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in deep respect for your lived experience. You get to show up as your full self—no code-switching, no over-explaining. As an EMDR therapist, I help clients process painful memories, shift long-held patterns, and find relief from the symptoms that have been holding them back. We’ll work together to help you move toward something that feels clearer, calmer, and more connected. Whether you're coming in solo or as a couple, our work will be tailored to you—not some generic treatment plan. If you're looking for a therapist who is sharp, affirming, culturally aware, and not afraid of being her authentic self —we might be a great fit. And if you're ready to do the work, I’ll walk the path with you. Contact me for a free phone consultation to see if we’d be a good fit to work together.
