I believe therapy works best when both the client and therapist can show up as their authentic selves. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and safe enough to explore the parts of your life that feel heavy, confusing, or stuck. I show up with honesty, warmth, and curiosity, and I invite you to do the same.

While I bring my training and experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Work and Advocate, what truly guides my work is the relationship we build together. I see therapy as a collaborative process where your voice, values, and lived experience lead the way.

My approach integrates EMDR, attachment-based therapy, psychodynamic exploration, and individualized strategies for growth and resilience. I also ground my practice in a de-colonial lens, honoring culture, identity, and lived experience as central to the healing process.

Together, we’ll work not just on symptom relief, but on deeper transformation, building self-trust, strengthening relationships, and helping you move through the world with more freedom and authenticity.
