Do you struggle to manage the daily stressors of your everyday life? Or does something from your past keep coming up? Do you find that these concerns impact other areas of your life? Work? School? Relationships? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost with how to move forward and live a happy and healthy life? Now more than ever, people feel anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage their relationships, careers, and lives. Pushing your needs away and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it should not be so hard to live a better life.

With more than 5 years of serving underrepresented populations including individuals from a low socioeconomic background, BIPOC individuals, individuals part of the LGBTBQ+ community, and neurodiverse folks, I am here to meet YOU where you are and join you alongside your therapeutic journey. You are the expert of your life and I simply help you navigate.

It's not always easy to ask for support, but I am so glad you are here. We are all impacted by trauma in some way or form. By approaching the self with curiosity and care, we begin to change our lives and heal. Wherever you may be in your journey, I would love to support you in your self-exploration. I'm ready when you are.
