My passion is helping people discover who they are and how they want to interact in the world, even if the world has made it difficult for them to be authentic or successful. Many of those around me—including myself—struggled to find therapists who understand their unique experiences and needs, with a preference for therapists who have their own lived experiences that foster understanding. Specifically, there is a lack of representation among therapists of adoptees of color, of people who not only understand but are closely aligned with the polyamory and BDSM/kink communities, and those who understand religious trauma and choosing to leave religion from a similar background. My hope is to help fill the void of minority clinicians and that my lived experience can help me offer nonjudgmental understanding and comfort to clients who are seeking a therapist who “gets it.”
