Many of the people who find their way to me are exhausted from performing, masking or living by timelines that were never designed with them in mind. They’re not looking for quick fixes, but seeking depth, truth, and a way back to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to pause, orient inward, and rebuild trust with your body, your intuition, and your inner knowing. I support teens, adults and couples navigating burnout, identity shifts, relational stress, and trauma rooted in systemic harm. My work often resonates with artists, caregivers, healers, and folks exploring queerness, polyamory and spiritual growth.
This work is about more than coping. Together, we (re)examine the stories you’ve inherited about self-worth, rest, productivity and belonging and gently loosen what no longer fits. We make room for grief, anger while holding deep space for desire and joy. It's about creating a life that feels more honest and self-directed.
My approach is healing-centered and grounded in somatic practices, Womanist & psychodynamic theory, and decolonial frameworks. I also integrate spiritual tools like tarot and astrology when aligned. This is collaborative, relational work rooted in curiosity, consent and care. If you’re ready for therapy that honors your complexity, I invite you to reach out.
