As a survivor of complex developmental trauma, it is my passion to walk with others on the same journey of interpersonal and collective healing. In using empathetic and relational therapeutic techniques, I work closely with clients to identify the root of one's emotional distress – such as fear, anger, shame, helplessness, depression, and anxiety - and provide tools to help manage those emotions.
My minority status– biracial, queer, non-binary femme –also allows me to relate to and work with clients who are experiencing strain due to "isms"(e.g., sexism, heterosexism, racism, and classism).Stressors such as these can result in significant emotional distress and can be exponential for someone who is also attempting to recover from a traumatic history
I am a strengths-based, conversational, and person-centered therapist. I only work in modalities that are rooted in research, culturally informed, from a lens of equity, or that I have personal experience with. I am passionate about individual and community healing; and embrace holistic (and creative) therapeutic techniques such as art, music, literature,

I often use a Brain-based approach in my practice. We will focus on the connection between the mind, brain and body to get beneath the current cognitions that might be impacting your life negatively. This approach also helps set the stage for most clients to engage in their trauma recovery.
