“Healing from complex trauma is not about ‘getting over it’-it’s about reclaiming parts of yourself that had to go into hiding.”
-Stephanie Foo
Where do we begin when everything is connected?
BIPOC, Trauma, Neurodivergent Therapy
Navigating mental health across cultures can be complex - especially for those who identify as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) and neurodivergent. Cultural expectations, stigma, and the absence of shared language or understanding often make these conversations difficult. When neurodivergence is also part of your experience, it can add another layer that’s often overlooked. I offer a space to explore how culture, trauma, and neurodivergence shape your sense of self and relationships. Together, we work toward greater awareness, healing, and empowerment.
Narcissistic Abuse: Rebuilding Your Self-Identity
If you’ve experienced emotionally immature parenting or narcissistic relationships, you may carry deep wounds that affect your self-worth and how you relate to others. As a strength-based therapist, I support you in untangling these patterns and reconnecting with your sense of self. What you’ve been through is not your fault and healing is not something you have to do alone. Together, we’ll explore how past attachment wounds may be shaping your present, creating space for clarity, healthy boundaries, and a deeper, more grounded self.
Grief Work
Grief is a deeply personal and often non linear experience. It can arise from many kinds of loss, death, changes in identity, relationships, health, or major life transitions. In grief work, we create space for your emotions to unfold naturally, without rushing toward “closure” or minimizing the complexity of what you carry. Together, we will explore the layers of your loss, honor what has been meaningful, and support the integration of grief into your life in a way that feels authentic. Our work will be guided by compassion, resilience, and the understanding that healing does not mean forgetting, but finding new ways to live with what has changed.
Treatment modality
Internal Family System (IFS)
I use IFS (Internal Family Systems) to help you get to know the different “parts” of yourself, like an inner critic, a people pleaser, or a worried part, that show up in thoughts, feelings, or behaviors. Rather than pushing these parts away, we gently explore them to understand what they’re trying to protect or express. Together, we’ll connect with your core Self, your calm, curious inner leader, to bring more clarity, healing, and balance.
Brainspotting
Brainspotting is a gentle way to heal without needing to talk through all the details of your trauma. It helps your brain process what’s stored deep inside, where talking alone can’t always reach.
During a session, I’ll guide your gaze to a specific spot and we’ll pay attention to what thoughts, feelings, or body sensations come up. Once we find a “brainspot,” your mind will do the work it needs. When things settle, we’ll take time to ground and begin integrating your experience through a brief discussion.
