I’m a licensed psychotherapist specializing in EMDR therapy and trauma treatment for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC adults. Many of the people I work with are navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, chronic shame, or major life transitions that feel overwhelming or hard to untangle alone. I provide secure telehealth therapy to adults in Seattle, and New York City, as well as to residents across both Washington and New York State.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and thoughtful. I focus on building a therapeutic relationship that deepens your self-understanding and helps you move through life with more clarity. Whether we are working through trauma with EMDR therapy or exploring patterns in relationships, the goal is to help you feel more grounded and aligned with yourself.
If you are looking for talk therapy, EMDR therapy, or trauma-focused therapy in Seattle or New York City, I welcome you to reach out to learn more.

My work is guided by the belief that we can grow and heal through relationships. My theoretical orientation is rooted in contemporary relational psychodynamic traditions, and informed by multicultural, feminist, social justice, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and strengths-based lenses. My style tends to be curious, direct, and insight oriented.
