I firmly agree with what somatic psychotherapist Dr. Arielle Schwartz once affirmed: "The number one evidence for healing is the therapeutic alliance." I believe that therapy is not just about treating a diagnosis — it’s about creating a compassionate, attuned space where your full humanity is welcomed. As Gabor Maté wisely said, healing isn’t about eliminating pain, but expanding our capacity to be resilient with it.
I deeply care and specialize in working with C-PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and I approach each session with empathy, curiosity, and respect. I honor all the parts of you — even the ones that feel heavy or hidden.
I am Trauma-Trained and use holistic, creative, and evidence-based modalities with both individual and cultural identities in mind. I specialize in DBT/CBT (Mindfulness), Existential, SFT (Solution/Strengths focused therapy), Trauma/ Social Justice Informed Therapy, Somatic Therapy (Movement, Yoga, Breathwork), Expressive Arts/ Music and Holistic Wellness.
I: offer Teletherapy(online) services, refer to you as my client not my patient, see you as an expert in your lived experiences and view us as a team, strive to destigmatize and decolonize therapy, share a cozy space to help you feel safe and welcomed, allow my personality to shine through, and invite you to show up as your authentic self as well.
