Great to meet you!

It takes immense courage to embrace therapy; you should be proud of taking this step. Perhaps you are noticing recurring tension, pain, or unpleasant sensations in your body? Or are you functioning well at work, but noticing that it’s difficult to connect to a deeper sense of belonging and meaning? Do traumatic memories keep lingering at the surface despite your efforts to put them behind you?

My approach to therapy

I am careful to build on clients’ pre-existing strengths to help them to develop long-lasting resilience to stress. With compassion, non-judgment, and intentionality, my clients and I may visit past traumas and triggers, but do so with the goal of keeping the past in the past, and facilitating genuine healing. You deserve to live the fullest life possible.

What you can expect from me

All of my treatment modalities are rooted in a framework of social justice and the utmost respect for all living beings. I’m passionate about supporting and empowering folks who have experienced discrimination. I'm trained in EMDR, CBT, DBT, and SFBT. Please reach out if you would like to schedule an initial consultation. I look forward to speaking with you!
