Therapy for BIPOC women who deserve to heal from relational trauma and chronic people-pleasing patterns that have taught them to disconnect from themselves.
In a society that constantly tells women to shrink their bodies, question their instincts, and make themselves more palatable to others. My work helps women take up space authentically and unapologetically.
You Don't Have to Keep Shrinking Yourself to Survive.

Come home to yourself.
So many women spend years disconnected from themselves and their needs- not because something is wrong with us, which is what shame tells us. Because of relational trauma and cultural expectations, women are taught that their safety depends on shrinking themselves.
At a Space for Being, healing is about more than coping. It's about learning to trust yourself and creating a life that no longer revolves around survival. You deserve to take up space and move through the world as your authentic self. I help women compassionately break free from survival-based patterns and create new ways of BEING.
You don't have to earn your right to take up space; it was always yours.
Being the person who always has it together is exhausting; together, we will find new ways of Being.
You are in the right space if you…
Go through life pretending to be “okay”
Live in survival mode
Put other’s needs before your own
Are always keeping it together, which stops you from being authentic
Feel like you have to make yourself small to keep people around
Live life holding your breath & waiting for the other shoe to drop.
Find that you often hide your true feelings
Believe your emotions make you feel as if you’re “too much”
Worry that you aren’t doing enough
My clients learn to create space to:
Be free from their thoughts and no longer rely on avoidance to keep them safe
Face their fears, nurture their nervous system, and live authentically
Feel safe when facing changes and uncomfortable situations
Live by rules that don’t create rigidity and stress
Be free from the pressure of finding the perfect words
Having relief from unwanted thoughts & the urges to engage in behaviors that don’t align with who you are
When the fear is loud, I’ll help you return to A Space for Being.

Skills Training is Hands‑On Therapy That Sticks. More than talk—this is practice. I teach, practice, and coach simple, repeatable tools you can use between sessions to navigate tough thoughts, scary feelings, anxious habits, and interpersonal stress. Small, steady steps help the skills become second nature.

ERP breaks that cycle. You’ll learn to meet the scary stuff with compassion—and then choose to skip the habits your brain says you need. We do this gradually and safely. ERP helps your brain can retrain your nervous system and learn the truth which is anxiety rises and falls on its own, and you’re stronger than it says you are. ERP will help you learn to exist without feeling like you’re in danger.

Therapy that meets you where your body lives. A gentle blend of yoga, breath work, tapping, sound healing, and guided meditations to settle your system and build a sense of safety—one small, steady step at a time.
