Most people don't come to therapy because they've fallen apart. They come because they've held it together for so long that holding it together has become its own kind of suffering. I work with high-functioning adults — the ones who look fine on the outside but are running on empty inside. Competent, caring, and completely exhausted by their own patterns. Smart enough to know something has to change, but not sure where to start.
My work goes beneath behavior. Using a polyvagal and neuroscience-informed lens alongside somatic practices and cognitive-behavioral strategies, we explore what your nervous system learned to do to keep you safe — and what it costs you now. Culturally responsive care isn't a checkbox here. It's the foundation.
Sessions with me are honest, warm, and direct. I hold a Doctorate in MFT and am pursuing a Master's in I-O Psychology with a coaching concentration. I won't just validate you — I'll help you actually understand yourself. If that's what you're looking for, I'd be glad to connect.
