We all deserve a space that is exclusively ours. A non-judgmental, accepting, and healing space where we can transform our minds, feelings, and experiences. A space to reflect and grow. I provide holistic therapy that is person-centered, strength-based, and trauma-informed. My approach to therapy is eclectic - I incorporate various treatment modalities and approaches into my work (mindfulness, CBT, DBT, etc.) and provide anti-oppressive, anti-racist and culturally responsive therapy. The identities you carry are seen, valued, and celebrated. I consider all aspects of your life, including the systems and environments that impact us.

Our past can impact how we navigate the present. In my opinion, understanding our experiences can lead to healing and transformation. My priority is creating an open and safe space where you can freely explore those vulnerabilities. This is a space where you can vent, laugh, and make greater meaning out of your experiences. I use a strength-based approach to empower you to be your most authentic self. This approach can include times of humor and times when I challenge you. I believe the therapeutic relationship is integral to exploring uncomfortable emotions and relationship dynamics.

My approach is rooted in the belief that our wellbeing is deeply tied to the quality of our relationships—both with ourselves and with those around us. My approach is relational, focusing on how your past and present patterns shape the way you see yourself. Often, women carry invisible burdens while moving through demanding seasons of life: navigating identity shifts, caring for others while neglecting themselves, or feeling disconnected from the support they need. As Women’s Wellness coordinator, I hold a special passion for supporting women through these challenges, whether they show up in the body, the mind, or in relationships.

Many people come to therapy feeling faced with impossible choices that are fraught with danger. That feeling of unsafety can limit our choices and our capacity to think. Treatment offers a space where we can work together to establish the safety required for our minds to explore different possibilities. Once that is established, we are able to make sense of those challenges to find a way forward.
