A Safe Place to be Seen, Heard, and Understood

You deserve a space that feels steady, supportive, and rooted in compassion. This is a space to slow down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and return to a more grounded version of yourself.

As a therapist specializing in affirming care for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals, I offer a space where you can show up fully—without shrinking yourself or having to explain your existence. My approach is warm, down-to-earth, and tailored to your unique needs. While my practice centers marginalized voices, all identities are welcome and affirmed here.

“I believe therapy isn’t about fixing what’s broken—it’s about tending to what’s been neglected, misunderstood, or quietly carried for too long.”

Using an emotion-focused and interpersonal approach, I help you navigate identity, relationships, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My style is collaborative and insight-oriented, grounded in curiosity and connection. Whether you're working on setting boundaries, healing from past experiences, or simply feeling overwhelmed, we’ll move at your pace—with compassion and care.

How I Can Help

Whether you're navigating anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, or big life transitions, therapy offers a place to slow down and sort through it all. I support clients who may look like they have it all together on the outside but are holding a lot internally. You don’t have to carry it alone—we’ll work together to make sense of your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with clarity and self-trust.
