Healing happens when you feel genuinely seen—not just heard. I create a space where you can be your most authentic self, without needing to code-switch, explain your culture, or shrink any part of your story. I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, complex/intergenerational trauma, identity exploration, body image challenges, codependency, and relational pain. I'm passionate about supporting Black and POC clients, neurodivergent clients, LGBTQ+ clients, and those for whom spirituality and faith are central to who they are — because your full self belongs in the therapy room, not just your presenting problem.
My approach is rooted in the belief that the mind, body, environment, and culture are interconnected, and that lasting healing requires attending to all of them. I draw from somatic therapy, mindfulness-based practices, person-centered therapy, CBT, DBT, ACT, and existential and relational frameworks. These are tools I tailor to what each person needs.
You may be someone who holds everything together on the outside—showing up for others, pushing through. If that resonates, you're not alone, and you're in the right place. If you're ready to work with a therapist who brings both evidence-based clinical grounding and genuine cultural understanding to the room—someone who truly gets it — I'd love to connect.
