You don’t have to translate who you are to be understood. Komorebi symbolizes healing—balancing shadow and light to rediscover personal power. I specialize in supporting survivors of trauma—including sexual violence, intimate partner abuse, and generational trauma—within the context of culture, identity, and systemic stress. My practice welcomes survivors, LGBTQIA+ and gender-diverse individuals, BIPOC clients, and those navigating cultural or religious tension. Drawing on a number of evidence-based practices, I help clients reclaim power, balance light and shadow, and heal in ways authentic to them.
I specialize in treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, sexual trauma, and generational trauma through a multicultural and client-centered lens. My work is eclectic but often integrates expressive arts, and I hold certification in the Mandala Assessment Research Instrument (MARI) as well as Level 1 training in Guided Imagery and Music.
Therapy is never "one size fits all,” and I believe in the importance of finding a provider that you can be comfortable with and who can meet your needs. Don't hesitate to click the link to my Headway website to schedule a 15 minute consult to see if I am a good fit for you.

I provide gender-affirming, sex-positive care targeted to the identified needs of the client. Often our initial sessions involve identifying symptoms and learning coping skills for managing those symptoms with a gradual transition into delving into the core source of client issues as therapy progresses. Symptom management and greater positive self-regard are often obtained.

Incorporating creativity into the therapeutic process is a quality on which I pride myself and have been known to bring into session evidence-based techniques in the format of not only the expressive arts and play, but also techniques from Geek Therapy, Cinema Therapy, and Sandtray Therapy (to name a few).
