I believe healing happens in relationship with ourselves, with others, and within the stories and systems we carry. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating grief, trauma, identity, isolation, or the weight of holding it all together for others. Some are couples feeling disconnected; others are helpers holding the stories of those they serve. Many seek a compassionate, grounded space where they can feel seen, supported, and met with care.
My approach blends Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment theory, somatic and narrative practices, and a culturally responsive, systemic lens that honors identity, family history, and social context. I help clients explore patterns, reconnect with their bodies, and create new ways of relating to themselves and others.
Prior to this role, I spent years as a victim advocate supporting survivors of abuse and violence as well as those in helping roles. It is work that deepened my commitment to holding space with presence and care. I strive to offer a place where all parts of you are welcome. Whether grieving, stuck, or longing for connection, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Many clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by grief, trauma, disconnection, or painful relationship patterns. I help individuals and couples slow these cycles down, make sense of emotional and nervous system responses, strengthen communication, and build more secure, connected relationships.
