My website

I believe therapy should be a place where all parts of your identity are respected and supported, allowing you to move toward healing, resilience, and a stronger sense of self.

I have experience working with clients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), complex-PTSD, those struggling with religious trauma, identity development, interpersonal and intergenerational trauma/conflicts, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and specializing in work with SWANA/ BIPOC communities.

My style is direct, intentional, and encouraging, with a focus on helping you gain clarity, build skills, and create meaningful change. As a culturally sensitive therapist, I am committed to inclusivity and allyship with marginalized communities. I aim to provide a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges.
