Beginning therapy is a courageous act of self-respect. You may feel overwhelmed, deeply self-critical, or shaped by trauma, painful early experiences, or oppressive systems. You might appear capable and high-functioning, yet feel anxious, exhausted, or disconnected inside. You want more than coping. You want peace, safety in your own body, and a grounded sense of who you are. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds including neurodiverenge, LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and immigrants who are ready for real growth. Together, we create a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can build safety, resilience, and lasting self-trust.
With a background as a yoga teacher, I provide a grounded, gentle presence. I specialize in using Mindfulness, Self-compassion, ACT and IFS to help you gently shift out of threat- based patterns and into greater warmth, peacefulness and self-acceptance. Together we will build your capacity to relate to yourself with understanding rather than judgment.
I invite you to explore your inner world at a pace that feels safe and gentle. You deserve relief, clarity, and connection, and a place where all your parts feel welcome. I would be honored to connect and see whether working together feels like the right fit. I offer a free 15-minute phone consultation.

I help clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and harsh self-criticism. In our early work, we clarify what's keeping you stuck and create a focused, compassionate plan for change. Many clients begin to feel steadier and more hopeful within a couple of months, with a noticeable and even significant reduction in symptoms and a growing sense of safety, confidence and grounded self-trust.

I regularly use self-compassion in my practice. In our first session, we will start by discussing what brought you to therapy and determine some goals together. With self-compassion, we will be looking at your self-limiting beliefs and see if we can create some distance from those beliefs. You do not have to believe all your thoughts. Self-compassion also lends well to CBT, ACT, and IFS.
