Trauma can affect every part of a person’s life — relationships, confidence, trust, safety, and the way you see yourself. I specialize in supporting women who are healing from childhood trauma, PTSD, adoption-related experiences, racial identity concerns, and other painful life experiences that may still be impacting them today.

My goal is to provide a space where you feel seen, supported, and never judged. I believe healing should feel personal, collaborative, and empowering. Together, we’ll work to understand what you’ve been carrying, identify what you need to feel more grounded, and build practical tools that support real growth. You do not have to navigate this alone — your healing matters, and your story deserves care.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and personalized to your needs. I focus on helping you understand how past experiences may be showing up in your present life, while also giving you practical strategies to manage symptoms and feel more in control.

I believe healing should honor your comfort level while also helping you move forward. We may explore trauma, patterns, relationships, coping skills, resilience, and the tools that help you feel safer and stronger in your day-to-day life. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, empowered, and able to reconnect with your own strength.

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, and I’ll ask questions to better understand your experiences, goals, and what kind of support would feel most helpful.

My priority is to help you feel safe, heard, and respected. By the end of the first session, we’ll begin identifying what you want from therapy and how we can work together toward healing, growth, and a brighter path forward.
