For many, staying alive is an act of immense strength. As a clinician with experience supporting those who live with chronic suicidal thoughts, I’m here to walk alongside you and help you build tools that support your well-being—on your terms. If you’re carrying thoughts of not wanting to live, it doesn’t mean you’re broken—it means you’re hurting. I also work with survivors of profound trauma, including interpersonal violence, trafficking, and identity-based harm. More importantly, I work with those who want to go from "surviving" to "thriving". This is a space where all parts of you, including the darkest thoughts, are welcome.
In the spirit of seeing you as an expert in your own experience, I believe that choosing the evidence-based modalities that fit your needs is what matters most. I utilize a blend of therapeutic approaches including DBT, TF-CBT, Brainspotting, and Mindfulness practices that help develop coping skills, build resilience, and create long-term positive changes.
If you're seeking someone who can hold space for your full story and who believes in the possibility of change even when it feels distant, I would be honored to work with you. If this feels like a good fit, please don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule a session. Healing doesn't have to happen all at once but it can start with one conversation.

I work with clients who have experienced deeply traumatic experiences (domestic violence, sexual violence, human trafficking, identity-based traumas) and those who have struggled with symptoms ranging from dissociation to suicidal ideations. During our initial sessions, I will let you set the pace for how deeply you wish to explore these topics and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them.
