Have you experienced relationship issues with partners, friends, or family? Is it difficult to connect as a couple, adjust to life changes, or your nervous system and mind feel hijacked by a recent or past trauma? Or maybe your cultural identity is being pulled in multiple directions, which can be confusing and isolating! Life can feel SO heavy. I’m here to tell you—don’t have to carry it alone. Together we’ll explore your world and discover how, with your willingness to learn skills and tools, you can heal, grow, trust yourself and take back control of your life. With me you’ll have a warm, safe, and direct but supportive space.

No two individuals or couples are the same. As an integrative therapist, I draw from various therapies to find what works best for you, a unique individual or couple with a unique set of experiences and needs, keeping in mind multicultural or religious issues and traumas that may be impacting your life. I will hear you, see you, and respect you always.

Therapy looks different for each individual, which is a beautiful way to celebrate our differences. I'm an Ally/Affirming for BIPOC, SWANA, MENA, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQIA+ and Neurodivergent Communities. I welcome all backgrounds and am committed to understanding your world to best support you on your healing journey. Contact me for a free consultation!
