Has traditional talk therapy left you feeling like something was missing and unresolved?

Somatic approaches may offer you the relief you hope for.

Together, we will collaborate and explore personal meaning and the origins of your distress. We will bring curiosity and an open mind to explore rigid belief systems. New perspectives will emerge.

Specializing in Trauma, Racial Identity, and Sex Therapy

I understand the impacts of trauma and the call of returning to wholeness and resilience. When it comes to racial identity, I am dedicated to creating a safe place where folx can explore cultural heritage and identity development. I provide sex therapy to guide you in building healthy and fulfilling intimate relationships with yourself and others. I believe it is possible to create a satisfying sex life while acknowledging cultural shame, myth, and trauma.

Let’s begin.

I will meet you with presence, respect and care.

Together we will join in this important work to uncover and explore identity, meaning and purpose.
