Now taking telehealth clients in Texas and Connecticut! Therapy services offer a space for clients to build a deeper understanding of themselves, and build goals towards their dream life. Clients are encouraged to live authentically, build a mental health toolbox, and find a deep inner connectedness. I specialize in work with BIPOC clients dealing with life transitions, trauma, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and complex relationship issues. This is a space for healing and growth, that is created in partnership with the client.

To continue growth and work towards developing critical consciousness and critical self reflection in the therapeutic space after participating in the C3 workshop, I offer group and individual consultation.
Client Testimony“Thank you so much for choosing to do this. Your effort, time, thoughtfulness, intellect, advocacy, and humanity was evident for each session. Your organizing and intentional use of the space combined with your facilitating skills allowed me to think critically and feel safe within the group. Please continue to take up space in this way - it's going to be needed in our field.”
C3 Journal
C3 Journal
Clinicians often hear, “the work starts with you,” when it comes to addressing internalized bias, but what does that really mean? Addressing this can be as simple as self-reflection. Building a self-reflective practice takes some work on the ground level and can build into a skill that is available to you for the rest of your career. It can look like pausing before a progress note after a hard session and asking ourselves, “were they angry, or was I scared? Is it both?” By doing this we practice developing critical consciousness.
“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.””
