Let's Connect (289) 276-6994

I support individuals and couples facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship conflicts, communication challenges, life transitions, burnout, parenting struggles, and self-esteem issues. I also work with women managing pelvic pain and endometriosis. Together, we’ll explore root causes and develop practical tools for real, lasting change. Using a culturally responsive, trauma-informed approach, I blend evidence-based methods with compassionate support, honoring your unique story and goals. My goal is to create a safe space where healing and growth happen naturally.

For persistent pain, I offer an integrative approach that combines psychotherapy with Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) to help you shift your relationship with pain. Together, we can explore your pain story, uncover emotional and environmental triggers, and gently retrain the brain to interpret pain signals as threatening—creating internal safety.

I believe you are capable of feeling confident, calm, joyful, and deeply connected — both within yourself and with others, and you don’t have to do it alone. Our sessions are collaborative, curious, and compassionate, allowing you to set the pace and focus on what matters most.
