ABOUT:

I am a LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and strive to provide a safe, direct, and compassionate environment that acknowledges the dignity and worth that is inherent in us all. I am an egalitarian so I value working collaboratively with clients. Together we can outline a plan tailored to your goals and intentions. I may challenge you to explore some behaviors, emotions, and beliefs in order to embark on a journey of self discovery and enhanced self awareness. I believe the past is always present, so I will invite you to reexamine underlying pain points and most importantly, their roots. My hope is that by partnering together we may move towards  healing past wounds and inner wellbeing, even in the face of adversity. 

I am trained in ketamine assisted psychotherapy, psychedelic preparation, and integration. Additionally, I am also EMDR trained and often pair that with somatic psychotherapy which can help  clients attain a greater sense of mind and body congruence. The nervous system doesn't use words, which means you simply can't "talk" your way out of certain emotions or core beliefs. That's where both of those modalities can help bridge the gap between the thinking brain and the feeling brain. I also have a deep appreciation for how psychedelic work can add depth and color to this type of work.

Outside of private practice, I have worked as a clinician in crisis stabilization, residential treatment for survivors of sex trafficking,  and a substance abuse treatment facility.  As an immigrant, I understand the need for a multicultural perspective and work closely with minorities and BIPOC.    

You don't need to hurt alone. Connection is medicine. We can't undo the past, but we can work towards healing, growth, and alignment to your most authentic self.
