You may be carrying pain that no one sees—old trauma, a sense of unworthiness, or the exhaustion of navigating life while feeling disconnected from yourself and others. These struggles can leave you questioning your strength or wondering if real change is possible. I understand that feeling deeply. My own path to becoming a therapist was shaped by surviving childhood trauma and chronic illness—experiences that taught me just how much courage it takes to move through pain. That lived experience fuels my belief in healing, and it shapes the steady, compassionate presence I offer in therapy.
I earned my Master’s in Counseling from the University of San Francisco in 2017 and specialize in PTSD, depression, & sex & relational issues. My approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, Cognitive Processing Therapy, & mindfulness-based practices.
I see healing as a collaborative process—one where your story is met with curiosity & care, & where you’re supported in reconnecting with your resilience and sense of wholeness. You deserve to feel whole, connected, & at home in your life. If you're ready to begin that journey, I invite you to reach out. Healing is possible—and you don’t have to do it alone
