I’m passionate about connecting with diverse people and communities. I offer a holistic, trauma-informed approach that honors the connection between mind and body. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I work collaboratively with each client to understand the root of their distress and gently support healing from the inside out. Understanding why we are stuck in conditioned patterns and behaviors, unlocks the road map and the tools to navigate life’s battles. There is a path out of survival mode and you can thrive.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is an invitation to slow down and be heard. An opportunity for you to share your story, current challenges, and what led you to seek support. This is also your chance to ask questions and get a feel for my approach. You can expect me to show up authentically — as a therapist and as a human being. I will meet you with empathy, honesty, and respect — creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and supported.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach is guided by unconditional compassion, understanding, acceptance, collaboration, and support. My own experiences have deeply informed my therapeutic approach. Growth often requires us to face the parts of ourselves we’d rather avoid—our fears, regrets, or past wounds. It is in holding both truths, fear and courage together, that true transformation takes root.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I want to know your story and hold space without judgment, blame, or shame. I am an active and involved therapist. I welcome open dialogue and collaboration. I believe healing doesn’t always have to be heavy. Laughter can be a powerful therapeutic tool, helping release tension and creating openness. Human struggles are universal, but you don’t have to carry it alone.
