Great to meet you!

You don’t have to hold it all together here. I specialize in working with young women of color who often feel like they have to be the strong one, showing up for others while quietly feeling overwhelmed and unsure of how to show up for themselves without guilt. I offer a calm and supportive space where you don’t have to perform, prove anything, or have it all figured out. You deserve to feel seen, heard, and supported just as you are.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach is calm, collaborative, and rooted in compassion. I won’t push quick fixes or one-size-fits-all advice. Instead, we’ll work together to gently untangle the patterns that make it hard to be kind to yourself. I aim to create a space where you can breathe, reflect, and explore the things you’ve been carrying; all at your own pace.

What you can expect from our first session

Over time, clients often find themselves feeling more connected to who they are — learning how to show up for themselves without guilt, quiet the inner critic, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you, but about helping you create space to feel softer, more grounded, and more like yourself again.
