By moving toward patience, kindness, and grace for one’s self, we can challenge the places in our lives that have promoted trauma, dis-ease, and a host of mental, physical, & spiritual compromise. By sitting inside of life’s questions, with a practice of curiosity and self-compassion, we can gain clarity for how to move toward balance & harmony. My practice seeks to support adults with childhood trauma, parents & the child-parent relationship, as well as pregnant and new mothers & new parents. With empathy, humor, & compassionate challenging, I work to support you toward your definition of progress.
With 25 years of experience, I utilize practices in attachment theory, trauma-informed care, reflective practice, Raising Children with Nonviolence, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, and am an IFS-Informed clinician. I incorporate neurobiology to enhance your awareness of how your nervous system affects your capacity to cope with stress and with the here & now.
As a woman of color & the child of immigrants, exploration of intersectionality is crucial to my practice. My deeply reflective style holds trust that the answers you need are answers you have, and that within the safety & guidance of a therapeutic relationship, you will move toward clarity that supports authentic, purposeful, & present living.
