Are you a Millennial or Gen Z individual struggling with relationship challenges? Do you feel overwhelmed with relationship insecurity, uncertainty, or the exhaustion of dating? Do you wonder how you could feel less anxious or stuck in relationships? I help 20s & 30s folks navigate relationship anxiety, people-pleasing, and dating insecurity so they can feel more confident and secure in their relationships. Whether you are navigating anxious attachment, relationship overthinking, a breakup, dating burnout, low self-worth, , or boundary setting, I'm here to guide you toward emotional security in your relationships!
I specialize in treating adults facing anxiety, insecurity, and trauma related to relationships. We can work together to understand your emotional needs, explore relationship patterns, attachment, & identify what allows you to feel secure. I am trained in IFS, ACT, CBT, trauma informed care, and we can collaborate to identify the best approach for you.
As a Black and Latina therapist, creating a safe & inclusive space is a top priority for me. If you're looking for a therapist who will hold you accountable with compassion, and adds in a modern approach, we may be a good fit! I look forward to the opportunity to honor you and your unique experiences, while best supporting you in accomplishing your goals.
