How I Can Help
Anxiety and Depression
If you are struggling with anxiety and depression, we will work together to identify sustainable coping skills and interventions. Through our collaboration, I will help you recognize your patterns and triggers so you can lead a more joyful and confident life.
Trauma
I create a grounded and calming environment to help you regulate your system and find safety and security within your mind, body, and spirit. Trauma is only one part of your story. Together, we will process your pain and develop a new narrative in which you are in control of your life.
Culturally Responsive
I strive to create a welcoming environment for clients with marginalized and oppressed identities, where all your identities are respected and honored. I believe it is crucial to understand how power dynamics and privileges affect your mental health. Together, we will integrate your cultural identities to develop interventions that best support you.
