Bienvenidx a todx! We all deserve and need support in navigating life’s challenges. I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of my clients’ support team. My practice as a therapist is informed by years working in community mental health, serving those most impacted by systemic injustice. I honor the lessons I’ve learned through that work by approaching each new client with both humility and hopefulness. I believe we all have the capacity to heal and grow. I am trained in specific treatment methods to support trauma survivors that can help you access and strengthen your natural healing instincts. Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, grief, strained relationships with loved ones, or other concerns, I commend you on taking steps toward change, and I look forward to accompanying you on this path. My approach is nonjudgmental, trauma informed, LGBTQ-affirming, sex positive, and committed to justice and liberation for Black and Indigenous people. For now, I am providing services via tele-health only to support the health and safety of our community. I am able to see clients located in Maryland or the District of Columbia. Email me today to schedule a free consultation! I am now able to accept BlueCross/BlueShield plans. If you have another insurance carrier, I am an Out of Network Provider and I can provide you a Super Bill to submit for potential reimbursement.
