Great to meet you!

I am an LCSW. I am a trauma and neurodivergent-informed therapist that specializes in EMDR and DBT. I am good at building relationships with clients and helping them feel safe. I use humor and direct communication to overcome barriers with clients. I use things like art, culture, media, etc. to reach clients where they are at. I am non-binary and work on LGBT issues with clients. I am also a person of color, so I work with cultural trauma.

My approach to therapy

I use EMDR and integrate different modalities such as DBT, IFS, ACT, and others to help with a diverse number of issues. I am versatile and the tools can help with most situations.
