At the heart of my work is the belief that every individual holds within them hidden gems—unique experiences, talents, and stories waiting to be discovered. We are committed to uncovering these untold narratives and empowering others to recognize their own value and potential. By fostering a space where voices can be heard and stories can be shared, we aim to inspire growth, connection, and a deeper understanding of the richness within each person. Through this journey of discovery, we strive to illuminate the untapped brilliance that resides in all of us, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
As trauma therapists, we employ a diverse range of modalities tailored to address the unique needs of each individual. We create a space of acceptance where we honor the wholeness of each person through a trauma-informed, feminist, queer-centered, and culturally aware framework.
Through the integration of somatic and narrative therapies, we facilitate the exploration of untold stories within the mind, body, and soul, fostering healing and growth. We invite you to reach out and begin your journey toward healing. We look forward to exploring how we can work together to address your unique needs.
