I believe curiosity and creativity are gateways to healing. Often times when we feel stuck, unheard or unbalanced within ourselves, we don’t see alternatives or solutions to our problems. I work collaboratively with you, as you begin to explore what I call “your wiring.” My approach to therapy encompasses attentiveness, honesty, humor and most importantly safety.

“I help people embrace the elephant in the room, because elephants need love too.”
Hello and welcome.
I’m so glad your curiosity brought you here. Let me start by sharing one of my favorite ways to explain the work I do—I love analogies. I often talk about the “ever-present elephant in the room.” This symbolic elephant shows up everywhere: in your relationships, at work, within your social circles, and even in your spiritual or religious practices. It shapes how you connect with others, how you see yourself, and how you experience your body. This elephant has a way of influencing your choices and how you show up—or hide—in the world. In many ways, it touches every corner of your life.
About Better Mind and Wellness
At Better Mind and Wellness, we believe that healing begins with feeling seen, safe, and supported. This practice was created with the intention of offering compassionate, affirming therapy for people navigating the beautiful and complex intersections of identity, relationships, and mental health.
Better Mind and Wellness specializes in working with adults—especially those who identify as LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and/or neurodivergent—who are ready to explore the “messy” stuff: sexuality, grief, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, estranged family relationships, and more.
Our approach to care is holistic, trauma-informed, and deeply personalized. We integrate therapeutic modalities to support your growth at every level—mind, body, and spirit. We honor that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and that each person’s story deserves a custom, culturally responsive path to healing.
At Better Mind and Wellness, we’re not chasing perfection—we’re working toward something better: a better relationship with yourself, better tools to support your well-being, and better space to show up as your full, authentic self.
Better mind. Better vibes. Better you.
Our work together may include:
Narrative Therapy: Exploring and telling your story to better understand your experiences and how they shape you.
Mindfulness Practices: Staying grounded and focused on the here and now.
Attachment-Based Theories: Understanding how you show up in relationships and how past experiences may influence those dynamics.
Experiential and Somatic Experiencing (SE): Connecting with your body to process and heal in meaningful ways.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)/Parts Work: Gaining insight into the different “parts” of yourself, understanding their roles, and fostering a more compassionate internal dialogue.
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): Working to process and reframe distressing memories, helping you move toward healing and integration.
This integrative approach allows us to honor all parts of who you are, while working toward meaningful, lasting change. This journey is deeply personal and transformative, and I’m here to walk alongside you with support, care, and respect as you navigate the changes you’re ready to embrace.
