“Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming, especially for children, teens, and families of color who rarely see themselves reflected in the room. And when they do come in, they’re often weighed down by things that lack easy words: a child’s anxiety hidden by perfectionism, a teen’s grief that manifests as anger, an adult’s quiet exhaustion from trying to meet everyone else’s expectations. Parents often tell me they feel like they’re failing, unsure how to help their child find balance again. Some are navigating cultural identity, neurodivergence, or systemic pressures that make life feel like an uphill climb, or make getting out of bed impossible. What they want isn’t just relief from symptoms; they’re seeking understanding, stability, and a way back to themselves and what feels authentic.

Together, we slow things down and make space to feel through words, play, art, or quiet reflection. Healing begins when a child feels seen for who they are, when a teen realizes they don’t have to carry everything alone, and when a parent learns that showing up, even imperfectly, is enough. Representation matters. And I want my clients to know they’re seen, valued, and found here. Through a relational, psychodynamic approach, my work is grounded in connection, safety, and curiosity. I draw from evidence-based tools like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness, alongside a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and decolonized lens. Together, we make sense of what’s beneath the surface and build a path toward confidence, calm, and self-trust.

Over time, clients begin to move through life with more ease and self-understanding. Children rediscover their playfulness and confidence, teens learn to trust their voice, and parents find steadier ways to connect and support. Together, we turn survival strategies into self-awareness and self-compassion — helping each person feel more grounded, capable, and authentically themselves. My goal is to help every client, especially those who’ve felt invisible in other spaces, know that they belong and can live a life filled with dignity, joy, and security.”
