About Me

I specialize in integrating body-mind connection therapy approaches to support those seeking a sense of groundedness, meaningful healing, and long-lasting growth. Culturally responsive approach is also central to my work. Our personal histories and sociocultural environments shape the lens through which we view the world.

I believe healing begins in safe connection. You might be the first in your lineage to pause, to rest, to ask: What would it mean to be my authentic self? Whether you’re unlearning survival patterns, tending to old wounds, or simply trying to hear your own voice beneath the noise, I want you to know that you don’t have to do it alone.

I am trained in EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, EFT and psychodynamic approach. My work is relational and influenced by attachment and trauma theory. In somatic or body-centered therapy, we deepen our conversation by paying close attention to your experience of inhabiting a physical body in the here and now.
