The most important predictor of a successful therapeutic experience is a positive, collaborative relationship with your therapist. If you feel supported and safe, deep healing and meaningful change can occur. I am dedicated to fostering a culturally sensitive, honest, and containing space to help you work through the struggles of your inner and outer world.

I enjoy reading, painting, and exercising.

I start every morning with a meditation and end every evening with a gratitude list.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou is a beautifully written novel that is equally joyous and painful. It is an essential read for those who wish to understand the many ways oppression and trauma affect individuals.

I prioritize and protect my self-care: adequate sleep, healthful foods, movement, and lots of hugs!
