I specialize in working with individuals facing intergenerational trauma, complex PTSD, unresolved grief, disabilities, and cultural or religious trauma. I help address issues like identity struggles, trauma triggers, relationship breakdowns, sleep disturbances, depressive episodes, dissociation, existential questioning and maladaptive coping. My goal is to help you Reclaim Control so you stop being hijacked by your nervous system. I facilitate perspective shifts that are closing you in, help you establish healthy boundaries, and improve overall wellbeing. Together, we'll find meaning, peace, and empowerment on your healing journey.
My approach is holistic and eclectic. The aim is to help you develop self-awareness, provide you with concrete tools for emotional regulation, psychoeducation around how your mind influences your body and vice versa, ensure safety as I hold your hand as you connect with different parts of yourself, and help you make meaning from painful life events.
I invite you to a free 15-minute consultation where I will: 1) Learn about your situation and understanding your concerns from a culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed lens. 2) Provide you with new tools and techniques to help regulate your nervous system. 3) Create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.
