You want to be present, find ease, and fully enjoy your life and relationship but anxiety, trauma, and big transitions keep getting in the way. You've worked hard to create this life and your relationships. You do your best to "have it all together" for friends, family, colleagues, your partner. In the middle of all the roles, changes, and expectations you've lost yourself, disconnected from your needs, and lost track of your values and joy. Whether it is constant anxiety, imposter syndrome disconnection, or pain that keeps holding you back - you're just done living this way and ready to live more fully. I help you do the deep work, understand the roots of your patterns, transform trauma, and building new intentional patterns centered on joy, connection and your core values. I'm a warm, affirming, somatic therapist who blends mind-body practices, EMDR, and parts-work to help you heal so you can build a more aligned life and relationships.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

My first sessions are engaged and primarily focused on building rapport and relationship with new clients. I focus mostly on understanding clients' current world and lives, their strengths, their current ways of coping, and patterns, and getting a sense of their ability to self-soothe, regulate, and notice what is going on in their nervous systems/ bodies. From there I get a sense of client's goals and the healing they would like to see in their lives so that I understand what progress looks like for them and we can create a plan that is focused on those goals.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I create a warm and safe space for you to show up as your full self while also giving you feed back and challenging you to grow with a lot of compassion. I work to deeply understand your cultural, personal, spiritual, and relational strengths so that we can build on them in session. I am committed to helping you understand or create your vision for your life and achieve the growth that you want to see in your life and relationships.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I see primarily women and people who identify as BIPOC. I am focused on clients who struggle with anxiety, trauma, life transitions, racial trauma, boundaries, family challenges and relationship challenges. I work well with clients who are committed to their healing journey, engaged in the process, and open to trying different practices. I also welcome individuals who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+.
