Introduction

I see you. You’ve been carrying so much for so long, and it’s time to set some of it down. Imagine a space where you don’t have to hide parts of yourself, where your feelings are honored, and your story is safe. You deserve rest, support, room to breathe, and a chance to hear your own voice again. In this space, you don’t have to be strong or perform, but rather be you and find you. You’re not alone. You can do this. Let’s walk this journey together. With an understanding of how intersectionality and identity shape mental health, I help clients identify and apply self-care practices and build self-compassion. Our therapy journey is a warm, evidence-based collaboration, blending Person-Centered, CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-focused approaches to nurture growth in a culturally competent space. In our sessions, you'll find a warm, safe space to truly be yourself and navigate life's challenges. I empathize with the mix of uncertainty and freedom on this journey and am here to support you at every step. Together, we'll do meaningful work that empowers you to achieve your goals and enrich your life. When you’re ready, reach out to begin your journey.
