Complex Trauma doesn't happen overnight, so it won't be fixed that soon. But as we take steps together, you CAN conquer this journey. I believe in the power of relationships, resilience, and culturally grounded healing. I am committed to walking alongside my clients with compassion, authenticity, and an unwavering belief in their ability to grow and thrive. Whether supporting a preschooler navigating big feelings, a teen processing loss, or a caregiver trying to break generational cycles, I bring warmth, insight, and a strengths-based lens to every session.
As an LGBTQ+ therapist, I am passionate about helping clients reconnect with themselves and their relationships by creating safe, nonjudgmental spaces where healing and growth can unfold. My background in crisis intervention, domestic violence, and sexual trauma equips me to provide steady, grounded care even in the most difficult moments.
My clinical experience spans from early childhood to adolescence and beyond. I specialize in supporting individuals and families through challenges with identity, transitions and/or unique grief and loss, depression, PTSD, familial challenges, and complex trauma. Let's work together to thrive in this journey called life!
