Many people who seek therapy with me struggle with past trauma and want to feel less scared of life. People who experience trauma often have a hard time setting boundaries, feel bad about themselves, and have people pleasing tendencies. Since I was 15 years old I have been a part of the movement against sexual violence. During my teenage years, I was volunteering with a local rape crisis center. Through therapy services, I assist women overcome sexual abuse and other past trauma.

Through therapy we can talk about ways for you to stand up for yourself and not feel ashamed about the trauma you experienced. I believe in helping you feel empowered to make choices to love your life again. The therapy approaches I use are empowerment strategies, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), solution-focused, and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).

People who see me often end their therapy sessions when they feel more confident in themselves, able to speak up about their boundaries, their past doesn't control their life anymore, have full-filling relationships, and decrease symptoms of PTSD.
