I'm caring, encouraging and liberating. My practice is grounded in feminist, multicultural, anti-oppression, and anti-capitalist frameworks. I want to guide you on your journey to become the best version of yourself. I center my work around connecting the mind, body and soul to find peace and energetic balance with various holistic and somatic practices. In using these approaches, clients learn their abilities to address any anxiety, depression, traumas, energy blocks, loss of self, difficult relationships and other maladaptive behaviors to become their most desired and divine selves.

It is my belief that every person can benefit from therapy at some point in their life. It can be helpful whether you're working through a specific, short-term problem or changing long-standing patterns of behavior, adjusting to an unexpected life change, gaining clarity about decisions or life goals, increasing self-confidence or self-realization, improving communication, or becoming more effective at regulating difficult emotions.
