You deserve a life of abundance.

Do you struggle to be your full authentic self? 

Maintaining healthy relationships, achieving life goals, and accessing joy can often feel like an uphill battle if you believe you must hide certain parts of yourself in order to be accepted by others. 

Cultural and family pressure, anxious thoughts, and past trauma can leave you feeling disconnected from yourself, or feeling like you are not enough. It can be exhausting and isolating to work through these challenges alone. 
I welcome your truth into the therapy room.

With compassion, empathy, and non-judgment, I will work with you to nurture the belief that you can not only survive but also thrive in this world. 

If this resonates with you, I encourage you to book a complimentary consultation with me today.

  • Have you been in talk therapy, but feel ready for a different approach? As an EMDR-trained therapist, I use evidence-based methods to help you process trauma, anxiety, depression, and painful life experiences. EMDR supports deep healing and transformation, so that you are able to live the life you deserve.

  • Whether you're navigating postpartum depression or anxiety, adjusting to the demands of new motherhood, or coping with shifting relationships, I’m here to support you through this transition. As a trained full-spectrum doula, I understand the complexities of the pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experience. Therapy offers a space to explore your evolving identity, build supportive tools to manage anxiety and depression, and heal from any challenges during the pregnancy or postpartum experience.

  • Sex and sexuality are often overlooked in therapy, but they’re integral parts of who we are. With a background as a holistic health educator and a specialization in sexual health and education, I bring a knowledgeable, affirming approach to this work. As an LGBTQIA+ and kink-affirming therapist, I aim to create a safe space for you to explore your full self. I support clients looking to heal from sexual trauma while navigating dating and relationships. Together, we can examine how sexuality has shaped your past, how its present in your life now, and how it influences your relationship with yourself and others.

  • I support BIPOC clients who are navigating the pressure to succeed while healing from burnout and perfectionism. In a high-demand city, it can often feel like you’re never doing enough. Maybe you’re the only person of color in your workplace, an entrepreneur, or the first in your family on your current path.Together, we’ll explore your relationship with high achievement, the influence of family and culture, and your current values. Our work will focus on building sustainable tools and perspectives rooted in self-compassion and holistic care.
