Therapy should be a place where you feel safe to show up as your authentic self — without judgment or pressure to change who you are. My approach is integrative and deeply relational, rooted in Attachment Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and trauma-informed care. I believe healing happens in connection – with ourselves and with others – so I focus on building a space where you feel truly understood and supported. My work is also guided by a social justice lens, honoring the diverse identities and lived experiences that shape who you are.

You don’t have to keep carrying this by yourself. Maybe you’re sorting through the impact of a religion that made you feel like you had to choose between being loved and being yourself.

Everyone is molded from their experiences, perspectives, and identities which can shaped a sense of reality. Our racial identity, social class, sexuality, and ethnic backgrounds shapes us in developing wisdom/techniques of resiliency to endure distressing moments. These same experiences can become increasingly distressing which can lead us into believing unauthentic beliefs of who we really are. For healing to take place, a requirement of safety/security need to be present in order for authenticity to be formed. Often is the case where strength and growth is developed when faced with the discomforts of the past.
