Your Partner in Wellness and Growth
At the core of my practice is a deep commitment to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where you can explore, heal, and grow. Whether you’re navigating complex mental health challenges, the pressures of a demanding career, or simply striving for a more balanced life, I’m here to support you. I specialize in working with people holding multiple marginalized identities who are navigating systemic stress, from an identity-affirming and anti-oppressive framework. My approach recognizes that healing is personal, relational, and shaped by systemic and political realities.
Working with me means embarking on a collaborative journey where your voice is central. My practice is rooted in relational and liberation psychology, drawing from humanistic principles, trauma-informed therapy, and cultural humility. I incorporate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I will meet you where you are and help you navigate the complexities of your life with empathy and expertise.
Who I Work With
I work with people holding multiple intersecting identities, including:
Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Identities
Latinx/Latine/Latino/Hispanic, Caribbean, Indigenous and Native American, Black (including African American, African, and Afro-Caribbean), Southwest Asian and North African, and Asian, Asian American, and Pacific Islander communities.
2SLGBTQIA+ People
I provide an inclusive, affirming space for people of all genders and sexualities.
Neurodivergent People
I offer neurodiversity-affirming care that honors how your mind works, rather than trying to make it fit neurotypical norms.
Disabled and Chronically Ill People
I offer strengths-based, disability-affirming care and understand the impact of ableism and inaccessible systems.
My practice is grounded in cultural humility and an anti-oppressive, decolonial lens. I recognize that much of the distress people carry is shaped by racism, colonialism, ableism, and other systems of oppression, not by who they are. I follow your lead on the words you use for your identities and the parts of your story that matter most to you.
I also work with executives and technologists managing demanding careers and work-life balance, and with people living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, complex PTSD (C-PTSD), ADHD, chronic illness, and disability.
Why Choose Me?
I bring experience from a range of clinical settings, including community mental health and public health, residential treatment, disability evaluation, and private practice. My approach focuses on more than reducing symptoms; it’s about fostering resilience, empowerment, and growth. I am dedicated to helping my clients lead more fulfilling and balanced lives.
Services
Psychotherapy
I specialize in working with adults and adolescents who are facing mental health challenges associated with depression, anxiety, PTSD/complex PTSD (C-PTSD)/historical trauma, ADHD, and chronic illness or disabilities. My goal is to help you uncover your strengths and build resilience, offering a therapeutic relationship that is both compassionate and transformative. I particularly welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and am committed to providing culturally competent care.
Coaching
Coaching might be the right fit for those looking to achieve specific personal or professional goals—such as improving communication, enhancing executive functioning, reducing stress, or improving work-life balance. Coaching is ideal for those who do not need traditional therapy or already have therapy support but value professional support in skill-building and personal/professional development. We’ll create actionable plans aligned with your aspirations and support peak performance and optimal wellness.
Testing and Evaluation
I provide comprehensive psychological testing and evaluation services to clarify complex issues and help clients access needed support, treatment, or accommodations. Services include ADHD and learning disabilities assessments, psychodiagnostic evaluations, and dementia/memory screenings. My culturally informed, integrative reports provide valuable insights and actionable recommendations.
Consultation
Mental health extends beyond the individual—it’s also about the environments we live and work in. I offer consulting services to other therapists and healthcare providers as well as organizations seeking to improve mental health literacy, develop inclusive practices, and manage workplace stress. My areas of expertise include Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) consulting, occupational mental health, and supporting neurodiversity in the workplace. Whether you’re looking to develop a training program or need expert advice on workplace mental health, I’m here to help.
