Please Email to reach me. I offer evidence-based therapy for BIPOC who struggles with stressors that affect their work and personal life. Chronic anxiety, grief/loss, past trauma, or physical/medical conditions can affect our sense of self, mood, and interpersonal dynamics. I work well with young professionals as well as adults and seniors who are caregiving spouses/family with dementia and/or other medical issues. You may have read self-help books but not satisfied with the outcome and want more than to cope. Are you are ready to create lasting changes? Together, we will aim to help you feel hopeful & for a felt sense of relief.

We begin by exploring what's bothering you. I specialize in trauma-work using Brainspotting in addition to somatic, mindfulness, and insight-oriented psychotherapy to help you feel better. Brainspotting is an evidence-based therapy that facilitates change in your nervous system so we can begin to feel unstuck, lighter, and build meaningful connections.

Creating safe space to process life experiences for those who have felt like an outcast is my mission. I will guide you to explore your inner landscapes to identify patterns, to remove obstacles, and to cultivate a personal practice that feels empowering to you. You are one step closer to feeling lighter by reaching out. Let's begin.
