About My Clients

I focus on working with the LGBTQIA+ and TGNCNBI communities, especially those with BIPoC identifies. I want to honor and uplift clients who are looking to explore the intersectionality of their identities, the ways they can join the fight for liberation, and finding queer joy.

My Background and Approach

I am deeply committed to uplifting and enlightening marginalized communities, particularly focusing on the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) and TGNC (Transgender and Gender Non-Conforming) communities. By highlighting the unique challenges these communities face, I strive to inform and influence policies that promote equity and access to high-quality care. This work is crucial in ensuring that mental health services and other related human services are responsive to the diverse needs of all individuals, ultimately supporting their overall well-being and resilience. With a background in psychology, sociology, social work, and community activism, I have dedicated many years to advocating for the rights, visibility, and beauty of BIPOC individuals and TGNC individuals. Through various platforms and initiatives, I strive to address systemic injustices, challenge discrimination, tackle anti-trans legislation, and foster inclusivity and acceptance within their ecosystems.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I recognize the overlapping oppressions faced by BIPOC and TGNC individuals and works tirelessly to dismantle these overlapping systems of oppression. I believe in the power of collective action and collaborative care to create a more just and inclusive society for all. With a strong commitment to advocacy, activism, empathy, and resilience, I aim to be a beacon of hope and love for BIPOC and TGNC communities, inspiring others to join the fight for justice, equality, and liberation.
