If you're ready to dig deep and enrich yourself with a new story, join me! You may be navigating complex trauma, identity challenges, or relationship dynamics, and you’re looking for more than just shallow solutions. You want deep understanding and empowerment as we work together to untangle the patterns holding you back. Whether you’re healing from relational trauma, exploring your personal identity, or seeking support as a member of a marginalized group, I’m here to help you reclaim your story!

You can expect me to bring an authentic, validating, and culturally responsive style. My mission and experience is in helping members of marginalized communities unpack layers of complex trauma and build identities, lives, and relationships that bring them healing and joy. I integrate trauma-informed practices with anti-oppressive frameworks to liberate.

I have 8+ years of experience in the mental health field to call upon and understand how delicate this work is. If you are looking to stop reciting lines in someone else's play, move out of that haunted house, and work on a life you don't have to run away from, I invite you to work with me and be challenged to write your own story.
