Let's decolonize mental health. Your well-being should not come at the expense of authenticity. No matter where you are in your life, the world can feel isolating and exhausting, especially when we do not fit neatly into narrow roles we are told are acceptable. Through connection and community, we develop the skills and language to describe our experiences. You get to define the terms of your own existence, you may already have the words or they could be difficult to find. Our therapeutic connection can provide a space for you to feel safe and supported in creating your space in the world.

I work with many different walks of life whether that is young kids, teens, early adults to adults, families, and couples.
If you’re feeling worried, overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected, you’re not alone. Many of us carry parts that have learned to protect us—whether through masking, anxiety, perfectionism, people-pleasing, or shutting down. These parts are not flaws; they are adaptive responses to past experiences, doing their best to keep you safe. But when they take over, they can leave you feeling exhausted, lost, or unable to fully engage with life. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, helping you understand and embrace your Self while also creating new possibilities for growth and connection.

As a survivor of complex developmental trauma, it is my passion to walk with others on the same journey of interpersonal and collective healing. In using empathetic and relational therapeutic techniques, I work closely with clients to identify the root of one's emotional distress – such as fear, anger, shame, helplessness, depression, and anxiety - and provide tools to help manage those emotions.

Therapy is most powerful when it is a collaborative process where client and therapist work together to create meaningful, sustainable growth and change. Healing occurs when individuals feel safe to explore and express their thoughts, feelings and stories without fear of judgment. Through this process of increasing self-awareness, and by reclaiming a sense of control and autonomy, people can begin to access the solutions and strengths they already have to move forward. My role as a therapist is to act as a guide, witness, advocate and respectful challenger while also examining how outside forces inevitably impact our wellbeing.

Family Therapy
What do family therapists do?
A family therapist facilitates the process of understanding and improving how a family functions. The therapist will help family members develop empathy for one another. They’ll seek to understand existing patterns, misunderstandings, and conflicts that arise, in order to help the family arrive at a realistic, unified understanding and develop the coping skills they need to build stronger relationships.
How long does therapy for families take to work?
Therapy manifests differently in every family; a common time frame is 12 weekly sessions, but some families may see improvement after just a few weeks. Families should discuss their goals with the therapist at the beginning of the process and periodically revisit those goals to assess their progress together.
How can you encourage a family member to attend family therapy?
You can encourage family members to attend therapy by expressing with both love and concern the challenges you see and explaining how a therapist could help the family navigate those challenges together. An outside perspective can help everyone feel heard, get on the same page, and develop new skills. If family members are still hesitant, it may be helpful to emphasize that family therapy is short-term—it won’t last forever.
Is therapy for families effective?
Family therapy can significantly improve family dynamics and relationships. Research suggests that family therapy can help individuals understand their role in the family, communicate and solve problems together, reduce conflict and draw boundaries when necessary, and develop coping skills for stressors, major life changes, and mental or physical illnesses within the family.
