Deep feeler, over thinker, high achiever, or people pleaser? My clients are often students, clinicians, creatives, adoptees, BIPOC, and first generations who are navigating identity, relationship dynamics, responsibilities, anxiety, depression, ADHD, overwhelm, burnout, trauma, or systemic stressors. They are often masking or silencing parts of themselves to meet expectations. Many are seeking a space where they don’t have to explain their identities or experiences, where they can feel heard and seen without judgment or fear. They want support, clarity, and autonomy to show up fully both in therapy and in their everyday lives.
I offer unique understanding of intersectionality rooted in lived experience and aim to provide culturally and trauma-informed care. With a long-standing dedication to human development, attachment theory, and a gathered knowledge of specific cases, treatments, and approaches, I am committed to client-centered care tailored to each individual's needs.
I understand how overwhelming it can feel to carry so much while trying to hold it all together. I offer a compassionate, supportive space where your full self, voice, and unique form of expression are honored. If you’re looking for a space to make sense of things in your own way, you’re welcome to connect with me and discover what therapy can mean for you.

I support individuals navigating dysregulation, identity exploration, trauma, attachment-related issues, adjustment, and the impacts of the uncontrollable. A treatment plan is always collaborative and may involve building trust, exploring patterns & core beliefs, emotion regulation and awareness, and strengthening self-worth. Benefits can be restoration of hope, relief, & improved quality of life.
