Nice to meet you

I work with individuals experiencing trauma related to grief and loss, sexual assault, gun violence, first-generation responsibilities, low self-esteem, cultural expectations, toxic relationships, and major life transitions. I help clients find tangible ways to cope with stress and heal from its impact on their well-being and mental health.
