You can exhale—your support is here. Are you carrying invisible weight? Whether that’s postpartum depression, anxiety, burnout, or the exhaustion of being “on” all the time in spaces that don’t always see you? My niche is supporting people of color navigating microaggressions, discrimination, or the quiet ache of isolation that comes from living in predominantly white or heteronormative spaces. Whether you’re a new mom trying to feel like yourself again, or a gay man learning how to hold joy and pain in the same body, this is a space made for you. The heaviness you feel isn’t yours to hold alone. Let’s honor your story here.

As a certified yoga and Pilates instructor, I also weave movement and mindfulness into the healing work of therapy. Sometimes the healing we need lives in the body, not just the mind. Want to walk and talk? Let’s do it. I believe in holistic care—where movement, meditation, and meaningful conversation work hand-in-hand to restore your peace.

Life will bring transitions—parenthood, career stress, identity shifts, or just feeling stuck. My goal is to help you rediscover your strength, reclaim your calm, and remember who you are! Having a therapist who gets it—who sees your cultural lens and honors you- it’s key. Together, we’ll unpack what’s at the root of it all and help you return to wholeness.
