You are exhausted of feeling and thinking the same way. You are someone who wants to change but doesn’t know where to start. You notice your relationships are being affected.

You are a person of color and/or queer individual who feels frustrated, sad, or maybe even confused at the state of the world. I will help you “feel lighter”, break patterns, connect with your feelings, discover your values and how to live them out in your relationships, and make the changes necessary to embrace your authentic self.

I believe that therapy can be helpful for everyone. Every stage of life brings its own unique challenges and speaking with a therapist can help bring clarity, closure, and a new perspective to our lives. I use a variety of theoretical frameworks to help my clients, I don't believe one way of looking at things provides the best help for each individual. You are an individual and your life journey looks different to everyone else, so I tailor your therapy to you personally. Why are you looking to therapy, what do you want to achieve, help me plan your therapy session, but also I like to explore what experiences have shaped you.

I’m really happy you found your way here. Reaching out for support can feel like a big step, sometimes even a quiet, uncertain one. My hope is that when you land in my space, it feels a little easier to exhale. Therapy with me isn’t about being “put together” or saying things the right way.

I bring warmth, curiosity, and a very human approach, holding space for both depth and lightness. Wherever you are, we can start there.

You are the expert on your own life. But sometimes, an outside perspective can be helpful, providing valuable feedback about our behavior patterns.

I will help you obtain a deeper understanding of your inner narrative and explore ways you can exercise self-compassion. I will draw from various treatment models to help you manage stress, improve resilience, and gain control in the areas of your life that feel overwhelming.

As an integrative therapist, I see healing as a whole-body process, one that honors the deep connection between the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of your being. You may be feeling drawn toward greater self-understanding, alignment, or growth, even if you’re not exactly sure what that looks like yet. Perhaps you’re noticing a quiet sense of disconnection, restlessness, or tension, or a longing to live in a way that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to you. This is a space to slow down, listen inward, and begin reconnecting with what matters most to you, with care for your whole self along the way.
