Are you feeling weighed down by daily life? Does it feel hard to ask for what you need? Maybe you’re feeling stuck in patterns that seem impossible to break? You’ve come to the right place! I specialize in helping clients heal and make sense of their experiences and find relief from anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm. I work mostly with clients who seek to break cycles of generational trauma in their lives. I also provide a specialized approach to those recovering from the traumatic loss of a child. Together, we can move beyond just coping and work towards rebuilding healthy connections and creating the life you want.
I provide a safe, supportive space to help clients overcome challenges like trauma, attachment wounds, and traumatic grief. I use an attachment and somatic approach along with EMDR, CBT, DBT, and Emotion-Focused Therapy, I specialize in BIPOC mental health, affirming practices for 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, and support for parents grieving a child.
Reaching out for help is hard but finding the right therapist shouldn’t be. I invite you to schedule a free 15 minute consultation to see if I am good fit for you. You deserve a space where you feel heard, empowered and safe. Let's work together to help you create the life you deserve.
