Are you seeking to strengthen your relationships or reconnect with your body? Do you struggle with communication, confidence, or just need a safe space to process difficult life experiences? I specialize in working with diverse individuals and couples, particularly those with QTBIPOC identities and creative backgrounds. My approach to counseling is trauma-informed, emotion-focused, grounded in attachment theory and, most importantly, I aim to be a curious listener and fierce advocate for my clients well-being. I am both compassionate and direct and believe that the therapeutic relationship is the most healing aspect of this work.
Drawing from my experience as a professional dancer and recreational therapist, I incorporate mindfulness and somatics to provide affirming care. Together, we'll focus on deepening connection, improving communication, and fostering self-discovery. I'll provide practical tools to help you embrace your authentic self and create thriving relationships.
Finding a therapist is easy, but finding the RIGHT therapist is hard. If you think I am a good fit for you, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation. You deserve a therapist who truly understands and supports your journey.
