Hello there! I specialize in anxiety, relationship or life overwhelm, and the effects of unresolved childhood trauma. I often help high achieving professionals eager for a change, exhausted caretakers who don't get to stop, and women navigating pregnancy or postpartum. As your therapist, I'll help you connect the dots, practice new skills, feel your emotions with curiosity and grounding, and work through painful experiences that are hard to face alone. I'm especially interested in BIPOC mental health and making sure therapy isn't one size fits all. I see therapy as a way to not only get unstuck, but move towards flourishing.
I always tailor therapy to your goals and connect with curiosity and humor. I use CBT, psychodynamic, and EMDR to help you notice your patterns, make important connections, and reconnect with parts of yourself or your body. I balance time for insightful connections and actionable steps so our sessions can focus on self-understanding and practical change.
I know that it's often uncomfortable to sit with ourselves or hard to know even where to start - so we stay distracted or avoid how we feel. I believe slowing down with attuned support makes all the difference. My hope is together we'll tackle the hard stuff, deepen self-trust and confidence, and help you build a life rooted in what matters most to you.
