What you can expect from our first session

The pandemic changed everyone's world, including yours and mine. As a trauma therapist, I witnessed direct and indirect trauma, many forms of grief, exacerbated by so much hatred and discrimination, on top of the current challenges of being isolated with a lack of help and support.

I am here to help. Together we will identify and strategize ways to live the life that you hope for. Also, I will help remind you that you are important, you are cared for, and you absolutely do belong.
