Hi there! I’m m (they/them)! I believe in the healing power of spaces where we can feel authentic connection – and I believe therapy can be one such space where we can co-create a safe and empowering environment where you can explore, grow, and flourish in the fullness of yourself, your identities, and your experiences. I provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship to support you in gaining deeper insight into yourself and your relationships, healing from experiences of harm, and honoring your strengths to shape your life closer toward your full authentic self.
As a trans nonbinary person of color, I especially recognize the importance of therapy that is affirming, that recognizes and honors our intersectional experiences with social identities (e.g., race, gender, sexuality, disability), and attends to how systems of oppression shape our lives and experiences. My approach to therapy centers social justice through integrating relational-cultural and feminist perspectives alongside humanistic and psychodynamic approaches. I can also integrate skills when desired from DBT and ACT.
Outside of therapy, I also believe it is important to my work as a healer to change the structural environment in which we live to better support our collective well-being. I am engaged in community-based research and advocacy to promote social justice and uplift marginalized communities. In this area, I have worked on protections for gender-affirming care, support for marginalized communities in bereavement, promoting ethnic studies, and more.
If you feel that I may be a good fit to support you, please contact me for a free confidential consultation. I am grateful for your time and honored to be considered to join you in your healing journey!
