Built on trust, mutual respect, and deep listening. I believe your sensitivity is a strength, your pain is valid, and your story deserves to be held with care.
I believe healing isn’t linear, and that real change happens when we move at the speed of trust. I believe in challenging oppressive systems like white supremacy, patriarchy, racism, and capitalism — not just outside of therapy, but within it too. I believe in showing up as my full self, so you feel safe to do the same.

More About Me

My Style in the Therapy Room

I’m gentle but honest. I listen closely and ask thoughtful questions. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all model — our work will be collaborative and attuned to what you need. We might incorporate mindfulness, tools, inner child work, or just slow conversations that help you notice what’s really going on underneath the surface.

I also offer therapy intensives for clients who want to dig in deeply without being bound by the 55-minute clock. You can learn more about that here.
