My approach is holistic, feminist, and anti-racist—I see you as a whole person while honoring how culture and oppression shape your lived experience. I am trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and Art Therapy, weaving these modalities together so therapy is always person-centered and tailored to your unique needs. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where you can reclaim your voice, deepen resilience, and move toward healing and wholeness.
I specialize in working with womxn and non-binary femmes navigating anxiety, depression, complex PTSD, ADHD, and the lasting impact of trauma. Many of my clients have experienced family conflict, narcissistic or emotionally immature parents, childhood sexual abuse, or struggles with body image and disordered eating.
At the heart of it all, I believe you are the expert of your own life. My role is to walk alongside you with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect—offering tools, reflections, and practices that help you move toward healing, liberation, and wholeness.If you’re ready to begin healing, reach out today to schedule a free phone consultation.
