I believe everyone has their own story and deserves a space where their experiences are understood. This belief shapes my practice, which is especially focused on supporting women of color, adult children of immigrants, individuals working to manage their anxiety/overthinking & trauma, & individuals exploring their spirituality, cultural identity, self-worth, & relationship attachments. I am also dedicated to supporting couples, as I believe that our connections with others are fundamental to the healing process. I value honesty, directness, & openness in my communication style and I work best with clients who share similar traits.
I gravitate towards using parts/inner-child work, attachment work, somatic/body work, and I am also in training for EMDR. I also aim to create a sanctuary to process the impact of the oppressive, capitalist structures that shape our lives. I aspire to see the world how you do while also exploring new insights and frontiers with gentleness.
While these beliefs guide my therapy style and they have been paths that worked for myself and other clients, I am, first and foremost, a companion who will walk alongside you, listen to you with warmth, and be a holder of your unique story. You are the priority and we will work together to meet your goals while honoring the strength you presently hold.

Therapy with me looks like me stepping out of my world and diving into yours alongside you. I aspire to understand without judgment and to see the world how you do. We will gently explore the issues impacting your life; work together to forge a path forward rooted in self-compassion, insight, and concrete tools; and create a space to process the things not in your control.

I primarily use attachment-based therapy with concepts from Internal Family Systems and Somatics. Together, we'll explore significant attachments, approach your inner child with compassion, get to know the different parts of you, and become aware of how your body is reacting to stress. We'll work together to bring healing to your internal world, your somatic experience, and your relationships.
