L.O.F Wellness & Counseling.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a virtual private practice here in the greater Bay Area. I have been a therapist for 8 years and specialize in working with Mood challenges, anxiety and Complex trauma. My psychotherapy approach is a composition of Culture Centered Therapy, an approach that allows for the clinician to examine contextual factors that impact social-cultural conditions. Additionally Cognitive behavior therapy, an approach that supports with recognizing how thoughts shape behaviors. I hold humor, self expression, introspection and spirituality as the centerpiece of my therapeutic frame. In my comprehensive application to treatment; we will approach the relationship as a delicate dance aiding you to your pathway of inner wisdom and ultimately your liberation.

I have a rich history of serving vulnerable populations ranging from toddlers, children, adolescents and adults. I have seven years of working with foster care youth, trans youth, and system impacted multicultural families. I have dedicated my career to working with Black & Brown youth, adults and families who have wrestled with managing complex intersectionalities.
