From the outside, you’re functioning, but internally, something feels off. I work with teens and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, relationship stress, and burnout that doesn’t always have a clear name. My approach blends somatic therapy, mindfulness, and creative exploration with evidence-based practices to help you gain clarity, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with yourself. Therapy with me is thoughtful, collaborative, and tailored. Supporting you in moving beyond coping into a more grounded, aligned way of living.

Your nervous system shapes how you experience stress, emotions, and relationships. I offer a warm, supportive space to help you regulate, reconnect with yourself, and move out of patterns that feel stuck. Using somatic and evidence-based approaches, we build tools for greater ease, confidence, and balance so you can feel more like yourself again.

We can integrate art therapy or focus on conversation, depending on what feels most supportive for you. I bring a culturally sensitive lens, recognizing how family, culture, and identity shape your experiences. Curious about working together?
