About me

I learned from an early age how to listen, how to hold space, how to smooth things over—even when I was hurting too. In my big, complex family, love and loyalty ran deep, but so did silence and pain. I didn’t have the language for it then, but I could feel how much wasn’t being said. I also knew that culture, laughter, and joy meant everything to our survival along the way.

That’s what led me here. I’ve always cared about what lives beneath the surface—how people carry their stories, their identities, their survival strategies.  I value relationship and compassion above all else and center both in my practice and in my interactions with everyone around me.

I work with individuals and families experiencing anxiety or interpersonal/family conflict and ground my practice in uncovering the impact of family dynamics, childhood, and external pressures on how people perceive themselves and others around them. I am also deeply passionate about how culture and identity play a critical role in how we experience life and incorporate culture and racial identity in my work with clients. I utilize a relationship-focused approach along with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based practices to help my clients live more peaceful and fulfilling lives.
