Life’s challenges can be difficult to navigate on our own. As a therapist my role is to walk alongside you on your journey of healing, knowing the journey is about coming home to yourself again. Whether you are carrying the weight of past trauma, struggling with anxiety or depression, adjusting to a major life change, experiencing burnout, stress, low self-esteem, grief, or simply longing to feel more grounded and whole, you do not have to navigate it alone. Together, we will explore the patterns, wounds, strengths, and inner wisdom that shape your story, while working toward greater clarity, emotional balance, and self-trust.
I integrate evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches including EMDR, CBT, and Exposure Therapy to assist with issues such as: trauma, grief, regulating emotions, interpersonal difficulties, anxiety, self-harm, depression, race-based stress, SOGIE (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression) concerns, and life transitions.
I curate a warm, collaborative, and compassionate atmosphere and emphasize your unique strengths. I also prioritize providing a safe and validating therapeutic environment for BIPOC individuals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and other minorities surviving under oppressive societal systems. I'll meet you with warmth, curiosity, and care while supporting your growth.
