About My Clients

I work with anxiety, trauma, and grief, especially when they show up as overthinking, emotional avoidance, or disconnection. Many clients struggle with self-worth, boundaries, and relationship patterns like overgiving or withdrawal. I also support identity exploration, including racial identity development and the impact of intergenerational experiences on how you relate to yourself and others.

My Background and Approach

My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive. I draw from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, and mindfulness-based practices to help you better understand your patterns while building practical tools for change. Together, we focus on increasing emotional awareness, creating a sense of safety, and helping you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in your daily life.
