I was drawn to clinical practice through my own experiences navigating high functioning depression and trauma. I am also fascinated by the mind-body connection. On the surface, I was still performing, still people pleasing, and excelling. I checked all the boxes. Internally, I felt disconnected from myself. I had lost my sense of joy, and interest in the things that should matter. I understand what it feels like to keep moving forward while quietly struggling underneath it all. Clients deserve a space where they can process experiences, better understand themselves, develop tangible and intangible tools to manage life’s challenges, to gradually reconnect to their mind and body. Often times growth is buried within the pain itself. As Rumi wrote, “The wound is the place where the light enters you.” 

I tend to work best with clients aged 16+, BIPOC, and clients struggling with life transitions, annxiety, and depressive symptoms.

That it does not occur in a vacuum, healing is not linear, and growth takes time and practice. Therapy is a space where the therapist is the oracle of your life. Rather, we guide, challenge, and help clients process and navigate difficult experiences.

In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you, and creating space for you to share your story. I strive to build a therapeutic relationship rooted in trust, support, accountability, and partnership.

My values are rooted in diversity, healing is a process, and understanding we are individuals first.

I use an integrative approach that considers the whole person and is holistic in nature. Evidenced based interventions are coupled with real world skill building. You environment, relationships, primary ecosystems, culture, and lived experiences are part of your journey. My work incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), trauma informed care, solution focused techniques, and somatic therapy interventions. Together, we’ll work to better understand patterns, manage overwhelming emotions, and develop practical tools to support meaningful change.
