Great to meet you!

Many people I work with have experienced trauma— relational trauma or ongoing exposure to unsafe or oppressive environments—and notice its impact in their body, emotions, or sense of self. If you do not see an appointment available within the next two weeks, please email me at [email protected]. I may occasionally have limited openings that are not posted online, and I can also add you to the waitlist. At this time, I am accepting new clients only as space becomes available.

My approach to therapy

I offer trauma-focused therapy grounded in a compassionate, relational approach. My work centers on understanding how trauma shapes emotional and nervous system responses, including anxiety and depression.

We start by building trust and creating a safe space together. The therapeutic relationship is the foundation of our work, and I believe that real healing happens when you feel comfortable, heard, and understood. Before diving into deeper work, I take time to understand you and provide psychoeducation in areas that may help you feel more equipped for the process ahead.
