I see you—the capable one who struggles to offer yourself the same compassion you give others. You're ready to break generational cycles and make peace with your body, but need a space that understands your whole story. As a queer, first-gen therapist, I provide an affirming sanctuary for BIPOC, first-gen, neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ folks. We go beyond talk therapy, using powerful tools like Brainspotting to process deep wounds and release their hold on you. Together, we'll honor your journey and build a future where you don't just survive, but thrive unapologetically.

I provide a compassionate space for BIPOC, first-gen, neurodivergent and queer folks to break cycles of anxiety, depression, and body shame. I blend talk therapy to understand your story with Brainspotting to heal it deeply, helping you move from survival to authentic thriving.

Taking the first step takes courage, and it’s okay to feel unsure. If anything here resonates with you, I invite you to reach out. Together, we can explore how to help you find relief and step more fully into a life that feels authentic and free. I would be honored to support you.
