Description
Starting therapy can feel daunting. Fear of stigma, judgement, and uncertainty about the process can be huge barriers to caring for our mental health. Many of us make enormous sacrifices to care for others and we're often left feeling tired and drained. We struggle with setting limits and carving time for ourselves. Visiting this site is a major step towards your self-care. I can't wait to hear more about your commitment to self-discovery and transformation.
As a clinician of diverse cultural experiences, I value culturally-relevant and integrative evidence-based practice. I have flexibility in psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and interpersonal therapeutic approaches. I am most adept with adolescents and adults, although I have experience working with clients across the lifespan in a variety of settings, practicing most recently in global mental health. Through the lens of anti-oppressive clinical care, I am dedicated to creating healing spaces for people of color and other underserved communities.
