Bio
As a holistic therapist, I am dedicated to supporting individuals in their healing journey. I believe everyone deserves a secure and empowering space to explore their lived experiences and change the narrative.
Being California native, from LA to The Bay, I landed in NYC in 2015 to pursue my degree in Social Work and have been there since. As a first-generation college graduate from a family of immigrants, I knew I wanted to support others who were also breaking cycles so that everyone knew that they were not alone. This became my mission.
I founded my practice, Cycles End With Me Therapy, where I prioritize supporting self-identified cycle-breakers who are the first ones in their families to seek healing and break the cycles of harm. Many Westernized approaches to therapy would not encourage me to share about myself and what my values are. They would encourage you to know little to nothing about me. This has never sat well with me. I co-create an environment where my presence is very much a part of the space, along with yours. I believe this is a shared experience.
My work is particularly focused on being alongside with Black, Indigenous, People of Color, 2SLGBTQIA+, and communities that have been impacted by the oppressive systems in place and I strive to create a space where you are heard, seen, and understood.
Areas of focus
My approach to therapy is relational, trauma-informed, and liberation-centered, focusing on connection to your body, your ancestors, and your unique cultural identity. I draw on modalities like Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Therapy, Parts Work, and EMDR through an integrative approach to help you heal from sexual violence, complex trauma, gender-based violence, and other challenges.
My practice is rooted in social justice and decolonial values, empowering you to reclaim your power and challenge any narrative that focuses on blaming the individual instead of the system. My gentle approach creates a sense of belonging and through collaboration, it allows you to explore your experiences and see your strengths. I'm dedicated to providing culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed care that honors your identity and supports your healing.
