Life’s challenges can feel heavy at times, but you don’t have to face them alone. Reaching out for support is one of the hardest yet most courageous steps you can take, and it’s a privilege to walk this journey with you. This is a therapy space where you can let your guard down, be seen, and know your story matters. Whether you’re a burnt-out parent, a partner recovering from narcissistic/emotional abuse/ divorce, a woman untangling codependency, childhood trauma, family dysfunction and self-doubt, a woman who outgrew misogyny, exploring sex therapy / someone mourning a marriage that’s lost its spark - your story is held with care.
I'm a holistic, trauma therapist helping you navigate anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, attachment, intergenerational wounds, family dysfunction, relationship struggles, life transitions, and cultural or bicultural identity challenges, including spiritual exploration. I also offer Gottman Couples therapy, family therapy, and Art and Play Therapy for kids.
I believe in the human spirit’s wisdom to heal. I do work with multicultural couples and adult children of immigrant families through pain, grief, religious and social trauma, helping you uncover your strengths and step into balance, peace, and renewed hope. Together, we’ll work on reclaiming your sense of self, and stepping into the life you truly want.
