My approach to therapy is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. I work with individuals seeking connection, healing, and balance, believing that growth happens in relationship—with ourselves, our communities, and the systems we navigate. I bring a warm, affirming, and culturally responsive presence to our work together. I integrate mindfulness, narrative, and somatic approaches with liberation psychology and trauma-informed care, creating space for reflection, action, and practices that support balance and joy.
