Hello! If you're reading this, something brought you here, and that step deserves real respect. Maybe you want less anxiety, less suffering, less loneliness, or simply more room to be who you are. Culture shock, past trauma, and living under oppression can surface as anxiety, depression, or trouble adapting and relating to others. Much of our suffering begins and is kept alive in relationships: we learn patterns early, especially through trauma, and they show up in what we long for and reject in ourselves and others.
My work is integrative. With advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, Brainspotting, and relational Gestalt and Self-Psychology, I work with body and mind to help trauma resolve, in a safe, gentle, caring space. I have deep experience supporting immigrants and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
If any of this resonates, I'd be glad to hear from you - a first conversation doesn't commit you to anything. Together we can find your own paths forward, and make room for you to be more fully yourself, with others and with yourself.
