Mental Health Counselor in New York, NY
Supervised by Catherine Vargas

About My Clients

I specialize in working with individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds (BIPOC & LGBTQ+ adults) who are navigating life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, anger management, identity exploration (racial, sexual, and gender), abuse, and internalized shame. You don’t have to carry it all alone, shrink yourself, or show up perfectly—I’m here to offer a supportive, affirming space where you can show up authentically, be seen, and heal in a way that feels aligned with your values.

My Background and Approach

Specializing in strength-based, multicultural counseling, and I have experience working with BIPOC and LGBTQ+ adults (18+). My relational, liberation-focused approach encourages self-exploration while addressing the impact of systems and relationships on overall well-being. I am committed to empowering individuals to reclaim their voice, unlearn harmful narratives, and step into their full authenticity. As a Black queer therapist, I understand the complexities of navigating marginalization while re-imagining what's possible for socially excluded people. By integrating personal insight with clinical expertise, I help clients to acknowledge past harm, recognize its ongoing impact, and cultivate a future rooted in self-awareness, resilience, and agency. Drawing from Existential Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, I’ll support you in embracing your truth, finding growth in challenges, and moving forward with compassion and courage.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As someone who is both Black and queer, my work is deeply rooted in love, liberation, and wellness. I believe healing is both a personal and collective journey—one that calls for self-exploration, connection, and the unlearning of narratives that no longer serve us. My approach blends personal wisdom with professional expertise, allowing me to support clients in understanding how systemic oppression and interpersonal experiences shape their daily lives. I am passionate about creating spaces where people can reclaim their autonomy, heal from trauma, and redefine their narratives in ways that honor their truth. I believe that transformation happens when we feel safe enough to show up fully as ourselves, and I strive to cultivate that safety for every client I work with. If you're seeking a space to explore, heal, and step into your power, I’d be honored to walk alongside you!
