BIPOC Identifying

LPC, LMHC

Gender Identity: female

Short Biography

I work with women who have always been the responsible one, the capable one, the reliable one. The ones who handle things. Who thinks things through. Who keep showing up even when they’re exhausted. Again and again, I’ve seen how perfectionism, people-pleasing, and over-functioning aren’t personality traits. They’re protection strategies that once made sense. Since 2014, I’ve supported women navigating anxiety, relationship struggles, and the impact of emotionally unpredictable environments. I’ve watched how early dynamics quietly shape the way we move through the world — how being responsible can slowly turn into carrying more than is ours. What I love most is helping you understand your patterns without turning them into flaws or making you feel something is wrong with you. I don’t believe in fixing people. I believe in helping you see yourself more clearly — creating enough safety for you to tell the truth about what’s actually happening underneath — and accept yourself. I believe deeply that we’re allowed to take up space and be loved without earning it.
