“I believe your well-being is influenced by physical, mental, and systemic factors. Together, we can navigate these areas and explore the pains of trauma that you experience in your day-to-day life. By understanding how these painful experiences impact your current well-being, we can work towards healing, allowing you to move forward with resilience and strength.

I welcome clients from all walks of life and strive to approach therapy with cultural humility. We can collaboratively find an approach that best fits your needs. It would be an honor to walk alongside you on your journey. ”
