I believe change and healing occur within the context of authentic, mutually empowering relationships, and view myself as a co-pilot in the therapy room with clients. I strive to create an environment where clients feel safe to bring in all aspects of their identity. I take a relational-cultural approach to therapy and feel passionately about working from a feminist, anti-racist, sex-positive, and body-inclusive framework.
My approach is collaborative, warm, and shame-reducing, while attending to experiences of marginalization and oppression that can often lead to isolation and disconnection from others. While the stress of life can be serious and overwhelming at times, I enjoy incorporating humor where appropriate and slowing down to express gratitude.

During Black History Month, we honor the contributions, triumphs, struggles and experiences of African Americans throughout U.S. history. The theme for 2023 is “Black Resistance”, spotlighting that Black resistance strategies have served as a model for every other social movement in the U.S., thus, their legacy and importance cannot be understated. IntraSpectrum Counseling is proud to commemorate Black History Month and to celebrate and honor all Black Americans, including QTBIPOC individuals across our country.
