Introduction

On my path as a therapist and healer, one mantra has stayed close to my heart: YOU are the expert of your life. This simple truth guides everything I do — I believe your story, your voice, and your wisdom matter deeply. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your agency, align with your truest self, and explore what healing looks like on your own terms. Rooted in mindfulness and intention, I aim to co-create a space that feels settling, expansive, and real; where you can challenge old patterns, grow into your values, and care for the version of you that is learning to thrive. ⸻ As a 1.5-generation, neuroqueer, Afro-Latina ADHDer, I understand what it means to navigate a world not built with you in mind. This space is for you — to reclaim, to root, and to rise. I work alongside adults struggling with trauma, grief, and stress, including racial stress and intergenerational trauma. I am passionate about authentic, genuine and inclusive healing for adults that identify as PoGM, QTBIPOC, first/second generation immigrant, 2SLGBTQIA+, and neurodivergent. I mainly use a collaborative, strengths-attuned and parts-work informed approach, while connecting the body/mind with somatic and mindfulness practices. ⸻ I help cultivate a space for the tender work of becoming and re-membering. If you feel called to incorporate intuitive, spiritual, or ancestral practices into our therapeutic work together, feel free to let me know how I can best support you. This is a space to remember you do not have to do it alone — working together is a partnership in healing; to breathe, feel, and grow. ⸻ I show up to this work with deep respect for your lived experience, while gently naming the systemic and cultural forces that shape our lives. I approach therapy through a decolonial, neurodivergent-affirming lens; supporting you in moving toward radical self-acceptance, fluid embodiment, and sustainable care. While I completed a Master of Education in Counselor Education with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I am wholly committed to a decolonial and liberatory-focused approach to therapy and an active dismantling of the oppressive systems that typically exclude bodies of culture and People of the Global Majority. ⸻ While I do not bill insurance, I am grateful to offer an equitable session fee as part of my dedication to enhance accessibility for holistic healing. I believe everyone deserves freedom from the daily stresses of surviving in a capitalist-oriented society. I accept The Loveland Foundation therapy vouchers as well. ⸻ For in-person sessions, I offer sensory-seeking tools, such as fidget toys for varied needs; I also provide a low-fragrance environment. For virtual sessions, I accommodate camera-off needs and welcome any comfort items into the space with us, whether that be blankets, fidgets, pets; whatever feels necessary for you. ⸻ I also write ESA letters, which are available after three sessions; feel free to note your interest on the inquiry form, and we can discuss next steps for evaluation. ⸻ I am available for sessions on the following days: Monday, 1-6pm Tuesday, 2-6pm Thursday, 9am-2pm (virtual only) Friday, 1-4pm ⸻ I am currently practicing under the clinical supervision of Tiffany Luke, LPC, CPCS, Certified EMDR Therapist, Certified Holistic Therapist, TCYM, CYT-300
