I believe that everyone deserves a space where they can center their needs, explore their experiences, and move toward healing in a way that feels authentic to them. In a world that often discourages emotional expression, particularly for those from historically marginalized communities, I strive to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel affirmed, empowered, and challenged to explore the roots of their emotions. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing happens from the inside out and is strengthened by community, connection, and collaboration.
As a therapist, I specialize in the intersection of mental health and sexual wellness, providing sex therapy for individuals and couples through a pleasure-focused, trauma-informed, and decolonized lens. I work with clients navigating a wide range of concerns, including exploring sexuality and gender identity, intimacy challenges, general sexual health and wellness, and concerns related to sexual dysfunction. My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, and culturally responsive, ensuring that all clients—especially those from BIPOC communities and other historically marginalized backgrounds—feel seen, heard, and supported.
I utilize an integrative and culturally adaptive approach that draws from various evidence-based modalities, including Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TI-CBT), Psychodynamic Frameworks, Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Somatic Experiencing, and Narrative Therapy. My work is also informed by relational, attachment-based, and liberation psychology frameworks, allowing me to tailor the therapeutic process to each client’s unique lived experiences and healing journey.
Currently, I am furthering my expertise in sexual health by pursuing certification through The Sexual Health School, with the goal of becoming a certified sex therapist. Additionally, as the Community Engagement Specialist for Coral Heart Counseling, I am committed to increasing access to inclusive, affirming mental health care and resources for BIPOC communities. My passion lies in creating pathways for individuals to reconnect with themselves, their pleasure, and their sense of wholeness—free from shame, stigma, and societal constraints.
In our work together, my role is to walk alongside you as a co-pilot on your journey toward self-discovery and liberation. Whether we are processing past wounds, navigating present challenges, or envisioning a more fulfilling future, I am here to offer a non-judgmental, collaborative, and affirming space where you can show up exactly as you are. I look forward to embarking on this journey with you!
