Down-to-earth
Insightful
Collaborative

Are you someone who feels deeply, thinks creatively, or is ready for change?

‍

Being human is truly complex. Whatever you're navigating—big questions, life transitions, burnout, anxiety, trauma, grief, or loss—I'm here to work with you to slow down, connect, and create a more grounded and fulfilling everyday life.

‍

I’m an MSW Candidate at Columbia University. I’ve spent years as an NYC hairstylist and salon studio owner, where community care, kindness, and genuine human connection were central to my work. I’m also a former ballet dancer and love music, philosophy, and art.

‍

My practice integrates my training in relational, cognitive, and mindfulness-based approaches to explore present-day challenges, understand deeper relational patterns, and practice staying present, even when what you're moving through is complicated or contradictory. I draw on somatic awareness and nervous system regulation, grounded in the belief that the body can guide us toward a deeper awareness of what we need. Together, we can notice moments of safety, connection, and ease. I work with people who want to better understand themselves and their relationships, explore their identity, and reconnect with pleasure, purpose, and the world around them.

‍

My approach is collaborative, down-to-earth, compassionate, and insightful. I welcome your tears and laughter. If this resonates with you, I'd love to connect.
