Have you been feeling increasingly more anxious, depressed, or worried? Maybe you're hoping to develop better boundaries with loved ones, healthier dating habits, or even connect back to yourself after big stressors. Well, I'm glad you're here so I can tell you that you do not have to go through it alone. My clients come to my therapy room to have a safe space to unwind, explore, rewire, breakdown, and find new grounding. I use a combination of mind-body-soul teachings to guide you in exploring present triggers, the deeper stories behind them, & ways to release them in and out of session. I am EMDR trained and enjoy utilizing it.
I work with adults and couples who are looking to enhance their resources and skills to help them live a more fulfilling life. I have successfully guided clients through trauma processing, helping them reclaim peace and joy in their life. I offer expertise in BIPOC health, children of immigrant experience, and activism/social justice.
Starting therapy can be intimidating, and I understand that it can feel like a big step. But if you're here reading this, you're already on the path toward making lasting change. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation where we can talk about your goals and whether my approach feels like a good fit for you. You deserve this support—and I’m here for you.

I work from a systems and psychodynamic perspective, which includes lots of childhood and family of origin exploration. I like to bring in somatic exercises and nervous system education to help educate on traumas impact on the body. With this type of therapy, your experience can be challenging since we are exploring so much of what built us up, but if you trust the process, it WILL be rewarding!
