Welcome — I’m glad you’re here.
As a therapist and clinical advocate, I support children, adults, and families through life’s challenges with compassion, curiosity, and care. My work centers around helping each person build on their strengths, develop confidence, and create healthier relationships—within themselves and with others.
Together, we’ll explore the connection between mind and body. I use a combination of evidence-based approaches to help us work with trauma, anxiety, stress, depression, and the everyday struggles that come with being human.
I believe in culturally inclusive therapy that respects your values, lifestyle, and the things that are most important to you. I collaborate with trained mental health interpreters and other support services when needed, ensuring you receive care that is accessible and aligned with your life.
I focus on helping you find strength—even when life feels overwhelming. We’ll work together to identify meaningful coping strategies, improve emotional regulation, and move toward greater well-being in both mind and body. I offer a warm, respectful space where you can be heard, supported, and empowered. Let's work together! Fill the intake form linked here.
