Great to meet you!

I’m here for those who appear strong on the outside but are quietly carrying more than they should alone. Together, we can create a space where you’re allowed to set it down, be supported, and explore the messy and meaningful parts of life as you move toward healing.

For about 13 years now, I have been supporting adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, career stress, burnout, and relationship stress. I do so rooted in authenticity, cultural humility, inclusivity, and trauma-informed care.

My approach to therapy

I have a warm, compassionate, and integrative approach that helps in building upon your strengths and honoring your story. I will help you understand how your experiences affect your mental health and how they might show up in your everyday life and relationships (anxiety, depression, trauma, lack of boundaries). I'll support you in healing generational trauma, navigating relationship challenges, managing burnout, and improving self-esteem.

What you can expect from me

My hope is to create a genuine, safe, and supportive space conducive to growth and healing. Our first visit will consist of a clinical interview which will allow me to gain a better understanding of your past experiences and current needs. Through our conversations we will be able to identify patterns that are no longer serving you, challenge negative self-views, and build healthy patterns.
