Are you stuck somewhere? Did you hit a wall? Do you want to heal an old wound? Restore access to yourself? Cultivate a deeper understanding of the world around you? Explore repeating patterns? Break toxic cycles? Come as you are. Do you want to adjust to the changes in your life? Absorb a loss? Reassess your life goals? Overcome a challenge? Increase your self awareness? Be more present in the moment? Find your voice? Feel more empowered, more vibrant, more whole? Come as you are. I specialize in trauma, attachment wounding, adverse childhood experiences, dysfunctional narratives and toxic relationship cycles.
I draw from narrative therapy and creative expression to allow for untold stories and muffled feelings to have a safe space to surface. I guide those who work in creative industries such as entertainment, fashion, dance, and tech, in negotiating a high demand life style and managing challenging dynamics.
My multicultural upbringing provides me with a fresh perspective on understanding adversity and how to navigate tension between cultures. I view the therapeutic relationship as the most important avenue to healing. I see this work as sacred and host a casual, authentic, intuitive, and accepting space to foster trust.
