Therapy with me is a radical act of remembrance, reclamation, and liberation. I co-create a healing space for People of the Global Majority, queer folks, and those navigating life transitions, identity oppression, impact of trauma & relational stress. I help clients explore trauma, intergenerational pain, anxiety, belonging, and self-worth through a integrative & decolonized lens. I use EMDR therapy in a culturally affirming manner as well.
My approach is trauma-informed, liberatory, relational, and flexible — I follow, guide, and witness. Together, we create a collaborative space rooted in trust, cultural wisdom, and embodied healing. Through the wisdom of somatics, the power of stories, and the clarity of stillness, we strengthen your connection to your innate wisdom & personal power.
Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, or the complexities of being a deeply feeling person in a fast-moving world, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered through a beautiful blend of science & spirituality.
