ABOUT

Healing begins with self-compassion. So often, we are our own harshest critics, carrying shame, anxiety, and self-doubt that keep us stuck in painful cycles. I view therapy as a collaborative, respectful, and grounding space where you can practice meeting yourself with curiosity instead of judgment. Together we will explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences that have shaped you and develop practical knowledge and skills to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

True transformation happens when we bring both the mind and body into the therapy process while also acknowledging the larger systems that shape our lives. This means tuning into your body—learning how emotions show up physically and finding ways to regulate your nervous system, release stress, and reconnect with a sense of safety. It also means taking a look at the stories you carry—about yourself, your relationships, and the world—and exploring whether they truly serve you. We’ll work together to reshape unhelpful stories in a way that reflects your values and strengths. I recognize that family dynamics, community influences, and societal pressures all play a role in our well-being, so these dynamics will be addressed throughout our work together as well.

My therapeutic approach stems from Humanistic Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (MB-CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy, Somatic Therapies, and Narrative Therapy.
