—May 2026 Update: At this time, my insurance spots are filled. I currently have a few openings for private pay clients for virtual sessions and can provide superbills for those seeking out-of-network reimbursement.— Are you struggling to find a genuine sense of belonging? Do you find yourself silencing parts of who you are or carrying the weight of expectations that were never truly yours? Blending evidence-based science, body-centered practices, and a culturally sensitive approach, I offer guidance and support to help you heal deep wounds and reconnect with your true self from the roots up.
Whether you crave strong, fulfilling relationships but missed the nurturing care you needed as a child, or feel you never quite fit in—with work, family, or society—I help heal complex, identity-based trauma. I blend evidence-based theory (developmental psychology, family systems, EMDR, IFS) with a body-centered approach to promote healing and empowerment.
Therapy can feel overwhelming, like untangling deep, knotted roots that have been buried for generations. If you're ready, I’ll hold space for you to gently uncover them, nourish what needs healing, and help you grow in a direction that feels true to you.
