I provide support to individuals who are navigating the effects of trauma or complex life transitions, struggling with anxiety, depression, or relational challenges, or carrying the weight of marginalization, cultural displacement, or perinatal stress. Many are high-functioning on the outside, but internally feel disconnected and overwhelmed. They are looking for a safe, nonjudgmental space where they can learn to feel grounded, emotionally regulated, and connected—to themselves and to others. Ultimately, they are seeking not only relief from symptoms but also growth, integration, and a more fulfilling way of being in the world.
I am a certified EMDR therapist and also trained in Trauma Center Trauma-Sensitive Yoga (TCTSY), which allows me to integrate both talk therapy and body-based techniques to support healing and emotional regulation. Using a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach, I provide a safe space where you can explore your inner experience without judgment.
I invite you to trade judgment for curiosity as we work together through your challenges. My role is to accompany you on the journey of discovering new ways to access clarity and confidence, build and maintain meaningful connections, and create a more fulfilling life. When you’re ready, I’m here to support you with compassion and understanding.
