Hello and sending you a warm welcome!
Therapy and psychological assessment can be powerful tools for understanding yourself holistically and making informed decisions about healthcare. I offer relational, culturally mindful therapy and evaluations that go beyond checklists and labels—grounded in curiosity, respect, and collaboration. Whether you're seeking clarity around ADHD, Autism, or mood-related concerns, I strive to create a process that feels supportive, validating, and attuned to your lived experiences and identities. My goal is to provide insights that bring clarity to your questions and empower you to move forward with greater self-discovery and confidence. Additionally, I specialize in complex trauma, grief/loss, and transitions. I offer a warm and collaborative space throughout the therapeutic process, integrating various evidence-based practices to fit your needs and goals. Drawing from trauma-informed, relational, mindfulness-based, and behavioral approaches, we tailor therapy to align with you to create meaningful change and growth. Taking the step to seek support is a courageous act. Whether you're navigating the complexities of trauma, exploring questions around your relationships and identity, or refinding stability through transitions, grief, and/or loss, I’m here to walk alongside you. I support folx in rediscovering agency, empowerment, and boundaries amidst the chaos and joys of life. Together, we will reconnect you with what matters most – your relationships, values, cultural roots, work/hobbies, and the parts of yourself that bring meaning and strength. We will co-create a path forward that honors you and your context. |
Outside of therapy and assessment, I love exploring nature and hiking, hole-in-the-wall restaurants, listening to live music, spending time with my family/loved ones, and cooking new recipes! You can also find me cuddling and playing with Citti and Patchouli, my two kitties (who will most likely come say hi to you on Zoom!) watching crime tv shows and documentaries, and enjoying new mom life.
