My ideal client is someone feeling weighed down by grief, trauma, anxiety, or disconnection—often shaped by complex relationships, culture, or intergenerational patterns. They may be curious about deeper healing, including altered states, and want a therapist who is relational, affirming, and culturally responsive. Their goal is not only symptom relief, but greater authenticity, freedom, and the capacity to connect more fully with themselves and others.
I offer relational, depth-oriented therapy to support healing from grief, trauma, anxiety, and existential distress. My work integrates culturally responsive care, somatic and psychodynamic approaches, ketamine-assisted therapy, and psychedelic integration to help clients build insight, resilience, and meaningful connection.
If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or carrying more than you can hold alone, you don’t have to do this by yourself. I offer a warm, affirming space where your story is honored and healing unfolds at your pace. When you’re ready, I invite you to reach out.
