We are born with boundless curiosity, exploring the world with open hearts, but trauma can narrow our perspectives, leading us to seek safety in the familiar, bringing both comfort and restriction. Therapy invites us to gently feel our way forward, offering tools to promote embodiment, connection, and growth. I work with helpers, caregivers, and those navigating the unique pressures of marginalized identities—first-gen folks, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and individuals performing emotional or undervalued labor. Together, we’ll explore challenges, reconnect with what sustains you, and reclaim your sense of agency, peace, and purpose.
I offer trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and relational therapy rooted in liberatory perspectives. My eclectic, collaborative approach integrates somatic practices and adapts to your needs—whether you prefer a solution-focused style, existential exploration, or a blend of both. Together, we'll work toward greater clarity, resilience, and embodiment.
My journey to this work grew from my own struggles with grief, trauma, neurodivergence, and non-belonging. This makes me deeply attuned to the complex and non-linear nature of healing. I take a non-hierarchical approach, which means I will walk alongside you on your unique path. Reach out to schedule a free consultation to learn more about working together.
