As a queer woman and former professional basketball player turned therapist, I bring a rare and deeply personal perspective to the therapy room—one that sets me apart from many clinicians. My lived experience navigating high-performance environments, identity exploration, and mental health challenges gives me a profound understanding of what it means to hold complex, intersecting identities in demanding spaces. This lived insight not only shapes my empathy and attunement, but also allows me to connect with clients in a way that is both authentic and empowering. It’s this blend of personal and professional wisdom that makes me a trusted guide for those seeking meaningful, identity-affirming care.
For queer, neurodivergent, or Latinx young adults grieving, striving, or trying to find themselves—who need therapy that’s honest, grounded, and real.

Taking New Clients Ages 13+
I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, and narrative therapy to create a personalized, integrative approach that meets you where you are. Whether we’re developing practical tools for emotion regulation, unpacking unhelpful thought patterns, or exploring the stories that have shaped your sense of self, our work together is guided by your unique goals and lived experience. Above all, I prioritize building a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship—one that supports you in healing from past trauma, deepening self-understanding, and confidently exploring your identity and emotional needs.
Making the first step towards healing is very challenging! You have taken that first step and reaching out can be very daunting, however I am here to help. I offer a free 15 minute consultation call for us to be able to meet, please reach out and take this next step in your healing journey.
The process of finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with can be daunting! We can connect and discuss what you are wanting to get from therapy with a free and stress-free consultation call. Together, let’s work to reconnect with your own sense of agency and resilience and help you thrive in your personal growth!
