I am a trauma therapist that works with individuals wanting to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and learn to navigate complex family dynamics or complex romantic relationships.
I often work with couples who want to explore their relationships and how to feel more connected and safer with their partners. I also find meaning working with first generation individuals engaging in self- discovery while still trying to honor their roots.
My therapeutic approach is conversational, strength-based, and collaborative. Our sessions will have a balance between learning and practicing new skills, exploring your internal world, and processing traumatic events when it is safe to do so.
You deserve a life worth living. You deserve to live a life that is not governed by your symptoms. You deserve to live as your most authentic self.
