You don’t have to perform your pain to be seen. You don’t have to overgive to be loved.
I work with the LGBTQ, BIPOC, neurodivergent, immigrants, kink/BDSM community, polyamorous or nonmonogamous folks, and survivors who are done with shrinking, burning out, or wondering if they’re "too much." You might be holding grief, longing, or rage that never had a safe place to land, especially if your identity has been shaped by generational trauma, family obligation, or code-switching for safety.
As a relational, trauma-informed and somatic therapist, I hold space for both the ache and the aliveness in you. I am trained in EMDR and IFS.
Whether you're navigating complex relationships, unlearning survival patterns, or healing in the aftermath of harm, therapy with me is collaborative, tender, and rooted in dignity. I offer therapy that honors your cultural, spiritual, and erotic truths, no need to filter or censor. We’ll go at your pace, together.
If you're craving a place to be deeply seen and not just “fix” yourself, you’re in the right place. Let’s reclaim your clarity, softness, and power. We will learn and practice nervous system regulation, healing shame, transmuting pain and embodying self-love. I see you.
Book a free 15-minute consult to see if we’re a good fit. (Email preferred)
