Are you feeling stuck in old patterns and confusion? I can help you break old cycles that no longer serve you and develop more productive and healthier ways of being - whether that's individually or as a family. I provide therapy for improving relationships, healing from trauma, and exploring identity. I draw from my background working in research on child development and family resilience, evidence-based practices, my clinical expertise, and own lived experiences.
I am a trauma-informed therapist, trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I work with adults, children, teens and families struggling with trauma, anxiety, neurodiversity (ADHD and autism), relationship issues and adjusting to life transitions. My approach is strength-based, collaborative, and culturally responsive.
I provide inclusive and affirming care to clients from diverse backgrounds and family structures. Growing up in my own multicultural family has made me passionate about helping people adapt to change and find understanding.
