Hello and welcome! My ideal clients are those interested in a more holistic approach, have an openness to alternative practices, and are in touch with their sensitivities. I gravitate towards those rebellious at heart and because of my various life and work experiences hold a soft spot for underserved and vulnerable communities. Some of those groups include immigrant families, families impacted by incarceration, and those included in the LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and Spanish speaking communities. I am great a support for those looking to learn more tools in managing anxiety, depression, OCD, or healing from trauma.
We would be a great fit if you are looking for an exposure therapist to work on anxiety/OCD or a talk therapist to support you manage your nervous system & learn coping skills. I value spirituality, practice energetic hygiene, and believe in continuing to do ongoing inner personal work. I love working with all ages and especially with kids and teens.
The most important thing about therapy is that you have a connection with your therapist because it is relational work. I'd love to touch base with you during a free consultation to see if we're a good fit. My price rate is flexible and I'd be happy to discuss a sliding scale if needed. Book with me now by clicking on my website.

Mindfulness and meditation is something I practice on a regular basis and is something I am very passionate about sharing with my clients. I think it is one of the most profound and gentle ways to make long lasting sustainable changes in one's life. It is through this modality we can make space for a healthy relationship with ourselves.
