Whether you’re new to therapy or returning to your healing journey, choosing a therapist can feel overwhelming, be proud you made it this far. You are not alone. More than ever, we need a safe place to express emotions and share concerns. As a therapist, my goal is to help you see yourself with compassion, acceptance, and care. Together, we can explore the deeper factors shaping your emotions and decisions, helping you move toward clarity and self-understanding. My practice is affirming and inclusive of LGBTQIA+, non-monogamous, and neurodivergent individuals. If you’re ready to heal and begin to embody, let's connect.
My therapeutic approach uses evidence-based modalities and anti-colonial frameworks to provide clarity on how past and present relationships shape your life and your perception. Together, we’ll explore your attachment style, understand its impact on your daily interactions, and help you reconnect with your sense of safety, purpose and direction.
Societal and systemic oppression (class, racial, gender, cultural, imperial) directly impacts our personal lives and view of self and how we fit in the world. In my practice, I integrate anti-colonial and anti-capitalist principles to help navigate life's challenges, guiding you away from scarcity mentality and toward the thriving life you truly deserve.

Capitalism makes accessing care difficult. I accept some insurances. I am happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable and accessible. I can also provide a Superbill for my out-of-network clients and help with reimbursement.

I work with clients who have been struggling with identifying, accessing and expressing emotions. Together we explore the connections between memories and beliefs stemming from childhood, specific or prolonged trauma. You can expect to learn to reconnect with your Self, how to use grounding tools when activation shows up, and intentionally your symptoms related to find relief and acceptance.
