While change can be an exciting invitation for growth and deeper self-discovery, life’s transitions can also feel disorienting and overwhelming. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone. I’m here to listen and help you strengthen your coping strategies for navigating the uncertainties and complexities of this moment. I support adult individuals in California and Louisiana who are adjusting to change and challenge in their lives and experiencing related stress, anxiety, depression, grief and/or trauma.
I'm trained in trauma therapies such as EMDR and Expressive Arts. I specialize in supporting BIPOC and LGBTQ+ people, in addition to immigrants. If there are ancestral healing or spiritual practices that are meaningful to you, we can integrate them into our work together. I'm committed to providing care that affirms your intersecting cultures and identities.
Our lifelong healing journeys have a ripple effect across communities and generations. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are along your journey, honoring you as the expert of your own experience. I welcome you to call, text, or email me to schedule a free 15 minute phone consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
