I support BIPOC, LGBTQ, and neurodivergent individuals & couples navigating anxiety and perfectionism.
Many of my clients are high-performing, deeply empathetic individuals who have learned to mask their pain through perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-functioning.

I bring a trauma-informed, somatic lens to healing, drawing on the mind-body connection to help you move from just surviving to truly living.
