Are you ready to start your journey to joy and improve your overall wellness? Do you feel disconnected from those around you and alone with your problems or life concerns? Are you tired of being the “strong friend” and ready to build a network of true support? Do you find yourself repeatedly in unhealthy patterns in relationships? Does vulnerability sound scary even though you know it is important? Have you experienced discrimination, harassment, or oppression due to your racial, gender, or sexual identity? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the right place. Welcome! I am here to listen and support.
I am dedicated to supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals, as well as entertainment industry workers with racial and sexual trauma, interpersonal struggles, alternative and non-traditional relationship models, eating disorders and body image, and veganism and eco-anxiety.
Congratulations on taking a step toward care for yourself. In this time of overwhelm, therapy can help build healthy coping with societal and personal struggles. Call or email me to get started on your healing journey.

Groups
EmpowerHer Trauma Group
EmpowerHer is a nurturing sanctuary tailored for women, femmes, and nonbinary folks who have survived sexual trauma. Guided by Ashley Merriman, LCSW, this group offers a supportive environment where survivors can embark on their healing journey. Through a blend of psychoeducation, identity exploration, and empathetic sharing, participants will gain insights into trauma responses, coping mechanisms, and avenues for self-care. Through discussions with other survivors, participants can gain a deeper understanding of their experiences, a sense of belonging, and the tools necessary for healing. The group is hybrid, with monthly in person sessions.
