Maybe life feels overwhelming and your mind feels frantic. Maybe your relationships feel strained. Maybe motivation, joy, focus, or desire feel hard to access. You deserve support. I aim to hold space for every version of you: the overwhelmed, the depleted, the witty, and even the part of you that is skeptical of counseling. My intention is to cultivate a collaborative, relational space grounded in warmth to safely explore your emotions, experiences, and pain. Together, we’ll get to know these parts with curiosity and care, building insight and fostering healing. To access to your wisdom, process your pain, and identify supports to find relief, I draw from approaches that emphasize emotional processing, regulation, mindfulness, and the power of connection. This includes tools and ideas from Relational-Cultural Theory, DBT, AEDP, and parts-informed experiential work, such as Internal Family Systems (IFS). I would consider myself to be direct, and I aim to show up authentically in the room. I also keep cultural identity, social context, and equity at the heart of what I do, offering a supportive, LGBTQIA+ affirming space where all of who you are is welcome. At its core, my work is about building relationships both with yourself and others that feel more authentic, present, and alive. I look forward to connecting with you.
