Do you have low self-esteem, past trauma, identity confusion, grief, or lack personal growth? Are you feeling down or stuck? Do you feel trapped by cultural norms or others’ expectations? Do you feel like a weirdo or you’re just not normal. Is your family nuts? Are you in a life transition (romantic, stage of life, career, school, roles) or in self-discovery, exploring relationships, sexuality, or spirituality? You’re welcome here! I'm a neurodivergent therapist who works with adult ADHD & Neurodivergence, single/new/co-parents, women’s issues & empowerment, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC communities. Let’s find your Peace and Power!
My approach is eclectic & judgment-free but authentic. I specialize in relational communication, intimacy, boundaries, & trauma to promote healing & self-love. Therapy is led by you, values driven, provides accountability & compassion. We’ll build understanding of your past, learn to live in the present, & stop fearing the future! Be seen and heard!
We share many experiences: inequality, infertility, infidelity, job loss, loneliness, discrimination, breakups, poor performance, invalidation, fear, abuse, trauma, impossible expectations, bonkers family, regrettable actions, crazy ex’s, cringy relationships, poor decisions, sadness, being broke, & exhausting parenting. Don’t struggle alone. I got you!
