You’re already stronger than you think you are.

The way I work is deeply rooted in equity, relationships, and values. We’ll identify what’s important to you and use that to guide what we do together. We’ll look at the patterns that have shaped your relationships—family, culture, past experiences—and find ways to shift them so they can begin to work for you instead of against you.

As a woman of color myself, I’ve often walked through challenges similar to my clients and can offer support grounded in real experience. This is all part of why I became a therapist—I want to provide the kind of support that wasn’t available to me earlier in life. I take an eclectic approach, blending DBT, CBT, ACT, and SFBT based on what fits you best (but I won’t be throwing acronyms and “therapy speak” at you). Our sessions aren’t rigid—I go with the flow rather than sticking to a set structure or worksheets.

I often think of myself as the kind of support your mother or father couldn’t be—because of their own pain, their own limitations, or simply the circumstances of life. I hold space for the grief that comes with that, while also helping you build something different for yourself. You don’t have to follow the same path. You don’t have to repeat the same relationships. And you don’t have to prove your pain in order to be worthy of care.

In our work together, we make space for the things that feel hard to say out loud. We explore uncomfortable truths, not to dwell in them, but to learn from them—because insight is what creates change.
