About My Clients

My clients are individuals, teens, and children navigating trauma, chronic illness, or neurodivergence who want a humanistic, LGBTQIA+-affirming space. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or seek to reclaim agency and authentic self-expression. Informed by a multicultural lens and Eastern philosophy, I help clients move forward by integrating IFS, DBT, Narrative, and Somatic Psychotherapy with expressive art and music therapy. I help clients cultivate embodied balance and sustainable healing.

My Background and Approach

I offer a humanistic, trauma-informed space utilizing DBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Narrative Therapy, EMDR, and Somatic Processing alongside expressive arts based on the needs of the client. Specializing in trauma, neurodivergence, and chronic illness, I help clients navigate complex challenges through a personalized, holistic lens.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

Healing is a deeply personal journey, and you don’t have to walk it alone. Whether you're navigating trauma, high-performance stress, or caring for aging loved ones, I offer an open-minded space grounded in art, meditation, and lived creativity. Let's connect.
