Great to meet you!

Are you struggling with feel stuck in the past? Do you experience anxiety, depression, low self-worth, familial conflict, or a trauma history? I am a client-focused therapist, and will tailor sessions to your needs. I have experience with EMDR, CBT, solution-focused, and trauma-informed psychotherapy methodologies, among others. I am aware of how cultural identity shapes my role as a clinician, and am a LBTQIA+ practitioner.

My approach to therapy

My treatment approach is person-centered, and rooted in evidence-based and trauma-informed care that focuses on how your life experiences have shaped your relationships with yourself and those around you. I am trained in EMDR, a trauma-centered therapy model designed to help you change how you store memories. I also utilize both body- and mind-centered coping techniques, which have been a crucial part of my practice and my clients’ success and progress.

What you can expect from me

My main goals for my clients include getting to a place where past experiences don’t rule the present, and coming to understand both the sources of and effective ways to manage symptoms and behaviors. I hope you can come to see your mental health experiences as manageable and a source of resilience. I care about my clients, and provide you a safe space to process your emotions and explore your beliefs and experiences without judgment.
