A little bit about me:
As someone who grew up in Southern California's appearance-focused culture, I was exposed firsthand to the impacts of physical criticism and societal pressure. Through this experience, I discovered the transformative power of reconnecting with oneself through movement and mindfulness – insights that now inform my therapeutic approach.
My mission is to help you find your voice and rediscover your sense of self, particularly if you've been impacted by past traumas or societal pressures. Together, we'll create a personalized roadmap for self-care and develop tools to manage daily distress and relationship challenges.
From our first consultation, I am committed to ensuring you receive the most appropriate care for your needs. This means:
Creating a safe, judgment-free space for exploration
Developing practical tools that fit your lifestyle
Incorporating body-based healing methods when helpful

A little bit about me:
My personal journey through therapy opened my eyes to a deeper understanding of myself and how I navigate the world. This experience sparked my passion for holistic health and wellness, leading me to pursue innovative approaches that support both mental and physical wellbeing. Today, as I continue my studies in naturopathic medicine, I bring this integrated perspective to my therapeutic work.
My mission is to help you understand how past experiences shape your current patterns, while developing practical tools for lasting change. I believe that everyone's journey with anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions is unique, which is why I tailor my approach to your specific needs and goals.
