I approach therapy as a dynamic, embodied process that extends beyond diagnosis into deeper realms of awareness, attunement, and transformation. Healing is not about eliminating pain, but about expanding one's capacity to relate to it with resilience and compassion.

As a polyvagal-informed, somatic therapist with a holistic and wellness-oriented framework, I am CPTSD-certified with a specialization in trauma and stress studies. My work centers on supporting the intricate connection between body and mind, guiding clients toward greater self-connection, embodiment, and nervous system regulation. I honor each individual as a complex, multifaceted human being, holding space for the many parts that shape one's authentic experience. My intention is to cultivate an environment in which you feel seen, heard, and empowered—grounded in the present moment.

I integrate trauma-informed, evidence-based, and creative modalities tailored to both individual and cultural identities, drawing on CBT, DBT, Logotherapy, Existential Therapy, Solution- and Strengths-Focused approaches, and Psychodynamic Therapy. I also incorporate somatic practices including movement, yoga, and breathwork, alongside expressive arts and holistic wellness interventions.

My academic and clinical training has focused on C-PTSD, anxiety, depression, and personality disorders. I am committed to affirming and supporting LGBTQIA+ individuals and communities, and I strive to meet each person with openness, cultural humility, and attunement to their unique life experiences. Together, we engage in a collaborative process of exploration—cultivating seeds of awareness, acceptance, and meaningful transformation, step by step.
