Being human is both beautiful and hard. If you're feeling stuck, maybe caught in self-doubt, old survival patterns, or the pain of narcissistic abuse, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a space where your emotions are welcome, your story is honored, and your nervous system can begin to exhale. Healing isn't about fixing what’s broken. It’s about reconnecting and evolving with the parts of you that were never truly lost. Therapy with me isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s intuitive, collaborative, and rooted in deep respect for your inner wisdom.
Using a culturally and trauma-informed approach, I blend modalities like IFS, EMDR, and Somatic interventions for trauma. I tailor sessions to support healing on all levels, mind, body, and soul. Some days we do deep inner work, other days we slow down and just focus on regulating your system. Together, we find what you need in the moment.
You deserve support that meets you where you are. Therapy can be a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported. I work with beginners to therapy and folks who are interested in subconscious shadow work. If this resonates with you, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to see if working together feels like the right fit.

I use Internal Family Systems (IFS), a gentle approach that helps you explore parts of yourself, like the inner critic or protector, that formed to keep you safe. IFS helps you access your core Self, a calm and compassionate inner resource, so you can heal past wounds and build a more supportive relationship with your inner world.
