I work with clients in CA and FL. I provide individual (not couples) therapy to curious people who are ready to get to work! I specialize in working with Black, POC, & LGBTQIA+ individuals and Fat/bigger-bodied people of all genders.
My specialties include sexuality, systemic racism stress, identity, and internalized fatphobia. I work through an intersectional, feminist, and social justice lens. I am proud to be a therapist who allows a person to “come as they are”. My goal is to guide, support, and collaborate with my client’s own path of discovery and growth.
Taking the first steps to therapy can be daunting; finding the right therapist can be challenging. It is important to me that you feel comfortable and understood, that's when the good stuff happens. Before we meet, we'll have a chance to talk about what brings you to therapy. Send me an email and we can set up a free phone consultation.
