About My Clients

I specialize in working with adults who appear “high functioning” on the outside but feel anxious, emotionally disconnected, or burdened by old relational wounds on the inside. Many of my clients carry complicated mother relationships, chronic people-pleasing patterns, or simply hunger for more than self-awareness and clarity--they want change.

My Background and Approach

My work blends deep listening with structure and momentum. I help people slow down enough to notice what’s actually happening inside them, while also supporting forward movement toward real change. Clients often tell me, “That is so helpful,” because our work together brings clarity to places that once felt confusing, overwhelming, or stuck. My approach is intuitive, relational, and practical. Together, we identify emotional patterns, explore blind spots, and gently challenge survival strategies that no longer serve you. I offer both compassion and accountability — a space that feels safe enough to be honest and structured enough to create change. In our first sessions, I begin by understanding what brought you to therapy right now. What feels urgent? What feels confusing or painful? My goal is to de-mystify what feels overwhelming. When we can name a pattern clearly, it not only loses some of its power, it gives us answers for how to undo that power as well.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I have a race, class, and gender studies background, along with an interest in multi-modal ethnography, where knowledge and data gathering can be acquired through non-patriarchial or traditional methods. I am interested in the subtle and subversive angles that mental health professionals, artists, and communities can use to observe ourselves and the world. I believe gathering data is meant to lead to creating internal and external conversations. The accuracy I'm interested in leads to self-awareness that changes the life of the observer not just the observed. So my work as a therapist is very much a partnership in looking into the mirror, where we both grow while I do the work of holding up the space for you to take center stage in seeing what's reflected.
