I love working with individuals who have felt unheard, misunderstood, or invisible—particularly those navigating life as racial, gender, or sexual minorities. My ideal clients are often "the strong ones" who are now navigating burnout, people-pleasing, or emotional exhaustion. I am deeply drawn to those trying to define what healing looks like outside of the systems and stories they were handed. Whether you are a woman of color, a new mother facing postpartum stress, or someone navigating religious trauma, I provide a safe space to explore what is really going on.
I offer a solution-focused perspective where we acknowledge your current challenges while looking ahead at what is possible. My approach helps you reconnect with your body, your values, and your sense of self. We will work together to let go of perfectionism and "survival-mode" living, helping you find your voice and your true identity.
I show up with curiosity, warmth, and a deep belief that you don’t need to have everything figured out to start healing. My style is casual, human, and intuitive; I want therapy to feel like sitting down with someone who truly sees and hears you, rather than a cold or clinical experience. I am here to walk alongside you.

In our sessions, you can expect a reflective and grounding environment that still allows for movement and insight. The benefit of our work is the creation of a safe space where you can just be yourself while we explore identity, grief, or spiritual transitions. You will gain the tools to move from just "surviving" to intentional living.
