How Can I Help?

I work somatically with you, helping you connect with your body to recognize what it is feeling, when, and why. Together, we use that awareness to manage emotions, relax the body, and increase feelings of safety. I also highlight your strengths, challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, and incorporate mindfulness, grounding, and personalized coping strategies based on your lifestyle and interests.

What is My Approach?

I take your experiences seriously and co-create a nurturing environment that helps you grow beyond your comfort zone at a sustainable pace. While therapy is collaborative, I will hold you accountable, encourage ownership of your experiences, and provide direction in the service of your self-empowerment.

What Is My Background?

Growing up with challenges such as divorce, addiction, loss, and cultural identity struggles, I understand the courage it takes to begin therapy. My six years with AmeriCorps and my work with diverse communities, including unhoused individuals, incarcerated teens, and crime survivors, continue to shape my passion for supporting growth and resilience. I was also featured in VoyageLA Magazine, where I shared more details about my story of becoming a somatic therapist, my background in dance, and my commitment to helping clients heal through body awareness and movement.
