BIPOC Identifying

LCSW

Gender Identity: nonbinary

Short Biography

I value social justice, both in my role as a therapist, as well as outside of the office. I view clients through an intersectional lens, considering their personal mental health experiences alongside the influence of their environment, identities, and the social systems around them.

Therapy Philosophy

I’m passionate about making mental health care accessible and affirming for those who’ve often been overlooked or underserved, particularly LGBTQ+ folks, people from low-income backgrounds, and communities of color.
