Welcome! I’m truly glad you’ve found your way here. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional with a focus on Grief/Loss and DBT Psychotherapy, I offer more than just therapy sessions. I offer a safe, supportive space where your story is honored and your healing is prioritized.
Life can feel overwhelming when you're coping with trauma, loss, emotional distress, or major transitions. You may be holding more than you know how to carry and that’s where our work begins. I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs, integrating mind, body, and spirit to foster resilience, growth, and meaningful change.

I provide compassionate, nonjudgmental support for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, BPD, and relationship dynamics—including polyamory. Specializing in trauma, grief, refugee experiences, and family concerns,
With compassion and respect, taking the first step towards healing is courageous! Let's embark on this journey together!
