I'm a mixed-race, queer therapist who specializes in helping LGBTQIA+ folks manage anxiety and feel confident. I offer online and "walk and talk" therapy. People start working with me because while life is going pretty well "on paper", they’ve been struggling with things like getting stuck in anxiety spirals; not knowing if they’re on the right career path or in the right relationship; questioning their identity; feeling tense, stressed out, and overwhelmed; not sleeping well; or sometimes feeling lonely or disconnected. They’re ready to work on understanding themselves, figuring out their values, and building the lives they want.
Their worries might relate to their gender or orientation, like anxiety about coming out at a new job, dating queer people for the first time, or questioning their gender. Or, they might just want a therapist who's part of the community, so they don’t have to correct pronouns, explain queer culture, or worry about judgment.
Clients often want to explore how their intersectional identities, culture, history, and systems like white supremacy and capitalism affect experiences. I aim for people to feel safe and affirmed, so they can bring all parts of themselves to therapy. It’s possible to manage anxiety and build confidence and fulfillment: therapy can help you get there.
