My Ideal Client

My heart lies with those who feel disconnected from the people around them; who don't typically see identities like theirs accepted in society; and who are navigating intercultural relationships. Whether you’re feeling lost and void of motivation, caught in relational distress, or wondering what makes you “you” I want to listen and support you every step of the way. I work with both individuals and couples experiencing life transitions, identity exploration, and who need a place to just "be."

My Background and Approach

I view individuals as resilient embodied beings with rich and complex histories where mind and body and soul are all interconnected. I believe that oftentimes, our bodies store and convey emotions and traumas before we even are mindfully aware of them. The body communicates beyond the verbal, and I hope to provide a comfortable space in order to listen and attune to your body and your experiences. I provide an integrative space using an emotion-focused, bodily-aware, and person-centered approach. My hope and goal in our work together is to provide an empathic space where we can explore unhelpful patterns, get down to the roots of your emotions, and figure out what's blocking you from living the life you desire. Sometimes this may look like talking, other times it may look like incorporating art and movement -- wherever you are and whatever you need, we'll figure it out together.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a first generation college graduate and woman of color, I have deep personal experience navigating confusing systems and figuring out myself how to get the help I needed. My heart and passion for helping people stemmed from scanning various counseling spaces and systems and not seeing anyone who looked like me. In a time when I deeply needed help, I could not find someone who looked like they could relate to my story or know of my lived experiences. This lack spurred me to pursue counseling and make my practice one of acceptance, empathy, and healing. I believe processing and healing is a relational and collaborative effort, where together we can work to build resilience and help you find your voice and strength to navigate whatever life may come your way. If you, too, have been feeling this lack of support or representation, I invite you to reach out and schedule a free meet and greet to see if we'd make a good fit. It would be an honor to walk this journey alongside you!
