I believe therapy should be a safe space for your whole self, where every part of you is welcome and met with compassion. I work with individuals navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and identity exploration, including LGBTQIA+ experiences. My approach is relational and trauma-informed, integrating somatic and parts-based work to help you build self-trust, strengthen confidence, and step more fully into who you are.
I offer compassionate, integrative therapy for individuals navigating grief, anxiety, relationship challenges, and identity exploration, including LGBTQIA+ and first-generation experiences. Using narrative, trauma-informed, somatic, and parts-based approaches, I help you build self-trust, confidence, and deeper connection to your authentic self.
Starting therapy takes courage. You deserve a space where every part of you feels safe, seen, and valued. Together, we can gently explore what’s been weighing on you and help you move toward greater clarity and confidence
