I provide a compassionate and supportive space where healing, growth, and authentic connection are possible. I specialize in trauma therapy, relationship counseling, and culturally sensitive therapy for individuals and couples seeking emotional healing and personal growth. As a Clinical Trauma Specialist and couples therapist, I’m here to help you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Together, we can create a new way forward, one shaped by trust, clarity, and lasting transformation.

Background

I believe that healing and growth occur in connections, with ourselves, with others, and within a supportive therapeutic relationship. This practice was founded on the idea that no one should have to navigate life’s challenges alone. As someone who understands the complexity of holding multiple identities, I bring a cultural lens to therapy. My eclectic and culturally sensitive approach allows us to tailor the therapeutic process to your unique background and experiences. Together, we will untangle complex emotions and foster personal growth. My utmost priority is to provide a supportive space where clients can explore what matters most to them and make meaningful changes at their own pace.

Your therapeutic experience with me

My approach is gentle, grounded, and deeply collaborative. Clients often tell me they feel seen, not just for their struggles, but for their strength, their culture, and their complexity. In our work together, you can expect a calm, welcoming environment where there’s no pressure to have it all figured out. I’ll walk beside you, offering compassionate guidance as we explore the parts of you that are hurting, and the parts that long for change. Whether we are unpacking the effects of trauma, navigating relationship patterns, or reconnecting with your inner voice, our sessions are a space where all parts of you is welcome. We will move at your pace, but with intention.

FAQ

What can I expect in our first meeting?

The first session is about getting to know you , what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and how we can work together. I’ll ask some questions to better understand your history and goals, and you’ll also have space to ask me anything you need to feel comfortable.

Do you offer sliding scale?

Yes, I offer a limited number of sliding scale spots based on financial need. Please feel free to ask about availability during your consultation or first session.

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a collaborative process that helps you explore thoughts, emotions, relationships, and past experiences in a safe, supportive space. It’s more than just talking , it’s about uncovering patterns, building insight, and developing tools to help you feel more connected, empowered, and whole. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating relationship challenges, or seeking deeper self-understanding, psychotherapy can help you move toward greater clarity and resilience.
