Introduction

Feeling tired, restless, unmotivated, or frustrated with life? I’m here to help you find more peace, joy, love, and confidence. Therapy can be a space where you reconnect with your true, authentic self. I guide clients toward that meeting place in a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and safe environment. My approach values your unique identities, culture, and lived experiences, and is grounded in multiculturalism and cultural competency. I use a trauma-informed approach that blends emotion-focused therapy, internal family systems, feminist theory, somatic awareness, and mindfulness. Together, we'll work on helping you feel empowered through life’s challenges, grounded in your body, and safe to express your emotions. I proudly serve diverse populations, including BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ folks. I support clients navigating anxiety, depression, intergenerational trauma, PTSD, narcissistic abuse, racial challenges, and relationship struggles. You deserve more than just getting by—you deserve to flourish. Together, we’ll help you feel more vibrant, authentic, and at peace, empowering you to create the life you truly desire.
