Do you need a safe place to be heard? Do you need someone to believe in you? Your pain is valid and there is hope. You can feel again and heal from what life has brought your way. I am an experienced, multiculturally trained therapist who is dedicated to helping women and girls, from childhood to adulthood, manage and thrive through life's transitions, moments of anxiety, and seasons of depression.
My style of therapy highlights your uniqueness including your race, culture, gender, and birth order. Exploring your life and the impact of your experiences through a multicultural lens is central to my therapeutic style. I specialize in mindful, emotionally focused therapy that focuses on the brain-body connection in healing trauma. I guide you to re-experience your numbed emotions through a mindful, body-based process that, at times, goes beyond words.
Feeling invisible and alone in the world is hard. But no one should feel alone, unseen, and misunderstood. I believe you matter in your remarkable complexity. I am passionate about helping you find your value, build your confidence, and find your voice. I would love the opportunity to hear your unique story and explore your lived experience together. As you discover what makes you unique and use the personalized tools we find together in therapy, I believe you’ll begin to feel more connected to the healthiest, authentic you and live more fully. You will heal and mend from what life has brought your way.
On a personal note, I am an amateur writer, love a good cup of hot tea and a lively salsa dance. I believe in long nature walks to clear the mind and a long book always brings a smile to my face. I think you matter in your remarkable complexity, and your unique story matters. I would love the opportunity to hear your story and help you rewrite parts of that story if you wish.
