Welcome to a warm, compassionate, and playful space where healing begins! I am a dedicated culturally sensitive and trauma-informed therapist. I aim to help clients work towards integration and wholeness by targeting the root of your symptoms to get you unstuck, allowing you to move forward in life. I work to provide personalized support for individuals seeking to heal from their past wounds and lingering symptoms. My goal is to create a safer and inclusive space to support you on your journey towards healing and transformation.
I recognize the impact of symptoms on the mind, body and spirit, and honor the unique cultural backgrounds of all people. Through a holistic and attachment-based lens, we will work collaboratively to explore your relationships and experiences to cultivate strategies for healing, self-expression, and self-compassion.
If you're ready to embark on this important journey of healing and self-discovery, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consultation. Together, we can explore your experiences, navigate barriers to growth, and cultivate resilience for a brighter future. I look forward to working with you!
