About
Welcome! I believe in creating a gentle, nurturing space for ALL clients, regardless of race and ethnicity, size, gender, or sexual orientation. I specialize in trauma-informed, culturally-relevant, attachment-based approaches to therapy, specifically using EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, and Play Therapy. In our work together, I hope you can experience deep healing through insight and self-compassion. "The deepest suffering of the heart and spirit cannot be solved, only witnessed and held". I am honored to walk this journey toward deeper fulfillment with you.
I have worked as a Clinical Director and School Counselor for 6 years. I specialize in treating trauma and improving advocacy, confidence, and self-esteem in my clients. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as TBRI, TF-CBT, EMDR, EFT, and Play Therapy to support my client's healing. My approach is client-centered: you are the expert on your healing.
Together, we will create a brave space for you and your family to explore challenges with curiosity and compassion. You are always the expert in therapy, and we are partners working together to find the best way forward. I would love to connect with you to learn more about how I can support you in your healing journey for your child, family, and yourself.
