If you feel stuck in patterns you understand logically but cannot seem to change, therapy can help you listen more deeply to what is happening within. I work with teens, adults, and families using a trauma informed, relational, and mindfulness based approach. I integrate parts work and somatic awareness to support emotional regulation, self compassion, and meaningful change. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as you build clarity, resilience, and trust in yourself and your relationships.
I provide trauma informed care using mindfulness, parts work, and somatic awareness. I support clients navigating grief and offer Parent Child Psychotherapy to strengthen emotional connection, regulation, and communication. I work with children, teens, adults, and families in a collaborative space and provide services in English and Spanish.
Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you have been carrying a lot quietly for a long time. You do not need to be in crisis or have clear answers to begin. If you are seeking a space that feels thoughtful, attuned, and supportive, I invite you to reach out.
