You struggle with setting boundaries and naming what you actually want. Deep down, you know there’s more potential to access in your relationships, your self-worth, your work. But you never quite feel grounded or fully seen. There are parts of you you haven’t even met yet. Maybe you’re in spiritual, kinky, or BIPOC spaces where you feel both seen and unseen. You’re tired of making yourself small to fit. You want boundaries that feel empowering and not guilt-ridden. You want connection without self-abandonment. You’re ready to get out of your own way.
I help folks unlearn the roles they were taught to play- especially the fixer, the caretaker, the overachiever. My approach is direct, culturally sensitive, trauma-informed, & rooted in modalities such as mindfulness, somatic work, CBT, humanistic, and kink affirming. I help you find language for what you’re experiencing & build a true relationship to self
Therapy with me is about getting honest. If you’re done performing emotional labor for everyone else and ready to finally choose you, I’m here for it. You don’t have to water yourself down to be worthy. Let’s figure out what coming home to yourself actually looks like.

Clients typically come to me when they are overwhelmed and in need of support with current life stressors. They typically dont feel like themselves and have a difficult time managing negative emotions. There may also be history of trauma, depression or anxiety. Our sessions are twofold- learn how to manage symptoms while ALSO deepening into the roots and history of these triggers.

A significant part of addressing relationship conflict is making sure that you are feeling regulated and grounded to approach triggering topics. I use somatic and mindfulness techniques to help soothe the nervous system as we move through difficult topics. I also offer directives and boundary setting to create emotionally safe environment for exploration.
