Are you constantly wondering if you're making the right choice in your relationship? Do you wonder how you could feel less anxious in dating? I help adults in their 20s & 30s break the cycle of relationship anxiety and build more secure connection and self-trust. This may look like navigating relationship trauma, people-pleasing, and dating insecurity so you can feel more confident and secure in your relationships. Whether you are navigating attachment wounds, relationship overthinking, a breakup, 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.
