Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I honor your courage in seeking support, and look forward to working with you. A graduate of The California Institute of Integral Psychology, I have been in practice for 7 years. My work with clients is depth-work, and I support people from all walks of life. I look forward to hearing more about you.

My approach to therapy

My work is rooted in the belief that mental health is a liberatory process. We do not grow in isolation—familial, cultural, societal, generational, and ancestral imprints all shape who we are. In our work together, I will accompany you as you welcome back all parts of yourself with compassion and care.

I offer a non-judgmental, empathetic space where you can be witnessed in your full complexity. My approach is relational and client-centered, recognizing that you are the expert in your own lived experience. I also bring a trauma-informed lens, understanding that trauma is not defined by an event itself but by how it is experienced in the body, mind, and spirit.

Together, we co-create a therapeutic space that honors your unique story. I draw from a variety of tools and interventions to support healing, integration, and growth—always attuned to your needs and the wisdom you carry within you.

What you can expect from me

Our first few sessions are an opportunity for me to hear your story, as well as your hopes, fears and goals as it relates to our work together. In the sessions that follow we'll work together in a variety of ways to help you get there!
