Wounding experiences can deeply shape how we see ourselves, our relationships, or the world around us. These wounds can leave us feeling disconnected - cut off from feeling whole and cared for. If this resonates with you, I might be a good fit for you. As a wounded healer myself, I approach this work with deep respect for your unique story, values, and cultural identity. I work with individuals, couples, and persons in ethically non-monogamous relationships. My practice is grounded in trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive care. I create a brave space for clients living in the margins.
I provide in person/online psychotherapy to residents of North Carolina and online psychotherapy to residents of Tennessee through Banyan Tree Counseling & Wellness in Winston-Salem, NC. Prospective clients should reach out to Banyan Tree Counseling & Wellness at 336-448-4451.
Brindo terapia en español en Winston-Salem, NC, a adultos y adolescentes (13+) lidiando con ansiedad, depresión, trauma y el estrés de inmigrar y adaptarse a una nueva cultura. Ofrezco un espacio compasivo donde puedes sentirte escuchado, comprendido y acompañado sin juicios.

Compassion is central to my work with clients. Clients and I work together to address self-preservation strategies that served them well once upon a time, but are now keeping them from accessing the rewarding life and relationships they seek. I draw heavily from IFS, EMDR, EFT, and other trauma-informed approaches to facilitate my clients' growth and progress towards their goals.
