Bio

I created this healing space in hopes of cultivating a community that feels safe and encouraging. My hope is to use shared life experiences to deepen connection and feel less isolated in our hardships. I use a culturally sensitive lens along with clinical expertise to drive treatment. My approach is collaborative and supportive in hopes to foster growth through confidence, empowerment, and self love.
