I am passionate about working with teens to adults navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, postpartum, family or communication struggles, and seeking balance. If you’ve felt overwhelmed by “adulting,” exhaustion, or life feeling unsteady, you want compassionate, culturally humble support. I provide culturally humble, affirming care that centers your identity and lived experience. I am especially committed to creating a safe environment for the LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodiverse communities. My goal is to help explore your concerns and support you in living your most authentic life.
I provide eclectic, holistic therapy combining CBT, mindfulness, expressive arts, and more. I am PSI- certified to offering specialized care for postpartum-related mental health concerns. I offer affirming care tailored for LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, neurodiverse, and diverse clients, nurturing mind, body, and spirit to foster lasting healing and growth.
If you’re ready to explore healing that respects your whole self and lived experience, I’m here to walk alongside you with warmth, cultural humility, and holistic care. Together, we’ll find balance and build lasting change in your life. I am honored for the time you took to learn more about me, and I look forward to supporting you on your life journey.
