My approach is one with bravery, care, and collaboration. I think of the therapy room as a sacred sandbox with the ability to create and hold any experience. Our work will center your cultural, historical, and ancestral knowledge in order to transcended barriers and empower your choice. We can feel so stuck and not know why. It is my role to help you get curious about difficult things. Together we will unfold and integrate your ability to feel at peace with your whole self.
Your human capacity is limitless when you are empowered to be in control of your life. At the Therapist of Color Collaborative, you will be partnered with a professional to give you the encouragement you need to unlock your healing process and begin your journey.
All of your work in therapy is grounded in an approach centered around your person and is focused on moving you beyond what has held you back.
Let us help you get this journey started!
