Change doesn’t happen in a vacuum.
We build a supportive relationship that can be your test kitchen, laboratory, or whatever space you need to create the change.
My approach is relational and social-justice informed. I adapt evidence-based methods to your needs.
As a queer person of color, my experiences inform our work together.
Therapy & Counseling
Online & In-Person
-
In individual therapy, I will help you gain insight into who you are and why you might be experiencing distress. For some, they may be looking for tools for things like how to better manage stress, anxiety/depression, or conflict in their day to day. While others may be looking to develop a deeper connection to themselves, friends, family, or culture.
Treatment Specialties
Most people are not taught effective ways to deal with stress, let alone how to identify when they are meeting or exceeding their capacity to tolerate stress. Structured, trauma-informed therapy sessions with DBT or Somatic Experiencing can outline practical ways to deal with the various stressors of life and strengthen what you’re already good at. Book a free consultation to discuss how these treatments can help.
