Are you feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, battling ADHD, anxiety, trauma, or struggling with intense emotions and impulses? Do you find navigating social cues and communication challenging, making it difficult to build fulfilling relationships? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the influences behind your recurring patterns, so that you can achieve deep transformation and satisfaction. As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist with experience in neurodivergent challenges, complex relationships, family dynamics, and narcissistic abuse, I tailor my approach to growth, trauma recovery, and identity exploration.

My priority is to empower you to develop confidence, resilience, balance and a positive self-image. My therapy practice is also rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay of our common humanity and individual uniqueness. I use a bicultural and mindfulness lens to draw from my own process of self-discovery and emotional experience to meet you in yours.

Meaningful change is possible and I am here to walk that path with you at your pace. Together, we can reshape entrenched habits that no longer serve you and overcome barriers. Reach out to me for a complimentary 50-minute consultation to begin your journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life.

I work with clients struggling with anxiety, trauma, and neurodivergent experiences that impact the quality of their lives and relationships. Therapy is the most effective when you feel safe, heard and seen. During our initial sessions, we explore how your past shapes your present and create a plan to address your obstacles. Challenges are inevitable, but you don't have to face it alone.
