Great to meet you!

I see you—the capable one who struggles to offer yourself the same compassion you give others. You're ready to break generational cycles and make peace with your body, but need a space that understands your whole story. As a queer, first-gen therapist, I provide an affirming sanctuary for BIPOC, first-gen, and LGBTQ+ folks. We go beyond talk therapy, using powerful tools like Brainspotting to process deep wounds and release their hold on you. Together, we'll honor your journey and build a future where you don't just survive, but thrive unapologetically.

My approach to therapy

I provide a compassionate space for BIPOC, first-gen, and queer folks to break cycles of anxiety, depression, and body shame. I blend talk therapy to understand your story with Brainspotting to heal it deeply, helping you move from survival to authentic thriving.

What you can expect from me

I use Brainspotting to process trauma somatically, integrated with talk therapy for insight. Your experience will be collaborative and nurturing—a safe space to not just understand your patterns, but to deeply heal from them, freeing you to live with more authenticity and ease.
