Creatives, artists, third culture kids, neurodivergent folk, and black sheeps welcome! Are you a brave human that dances to the beat of your own drum? Do you feel like you're struggling to navigate a road less taken? Then you will find a home here. Whether you’ve chosen a less traditional path or fallen in to one, it’ll be an honor to work through it together. I specialize in therapy for adults and teens with different backgrounds and sensitivities. Themes often addressed are trauma/C-PTSD, generational trauma, life transitions, perfectionism, grief, relationships, identity, and cultural/social awareness.
My practice works with your strengths to find empowerment. I love delving into big existential questions while also being grounded in processing the here and now. Parts work, somatic awareness, creative expression, and self-compassion are among some of my favorite tools. I value community, "chosen families", and healing in relationship with others.
I provide compassionate, culturally responsive care in a grounded space to help you explore your relationship with yourself/others, support changes in your life and facilitate reaching your goals. I look forward to helping you become a more authentic, embodied, and connected version of yourself!
