Working towards healing can be a long and often times a winding journey, one that requires patience but also the right care. Perhaps you find it difficult to be met in the context of relationships and stay connected to yourself, in deeply meaningful and fulfilling ways. I am a somatic therapist and counselor, I work with the body to resolve underlying patterns of trauma and stress and bridge this gap into emotional awareness that supports mental and physical health.

I help trauma survivors to heal by offering somatic therapy services.
You've always been the strong and supportive friend. You always show up when others are in need, and you always offer your support. But after years of giving and giving, you're feeling overwhelmed, resentful, and disconnected. Now, you are certain that you cannot keep this up forever. You’ve thought about starting therapy, but it is so hard to find a therapist who understands the things that you have been through. Trauma's impact can be deep, especially when compounded by racial and cultural experiences. You need a therapist who understands you as a trauma survivor, can help you heal, and live the life you deserve.

I use a combination of cognitive-behavioral and somatic approaches to partner with and empower you.
I provide creative, gender-affirming therapy for queer and trans clients, as well as short-term solution focused therapy for partners and family members to process a loved one’s coming out. Clients come to me for a lot of reasons— they’re questioning their gender identity, struggling with the coming out process, or looking to learn more about how to support someone they love. Sometimes they have past traumas that are getting in the way of feeling secure, safe, and authentic. Or they want some strategies for managing anxiety or depression. No matter what brings you here, welcome.

Making the choice to come to therapy is an important decision. Apart from the clinical training and skill of your counselor, the most important part of your experience is the therapeutic relationship. Most people who come to counseling need to talk about things that can be hard to talk about with someone else. I understand that, and this is why I put so much importance on building a trusting relationship. In order for you to say everything exactly how you mean it and to express yourself fully, you need to feel genuinely safe and free from judgment.

You’ve been feeling really stuck for some time now, and it’s only been getting worse. Life seems to be passing you by, and while everyone else seems to be out there, chasing their dreams and finding meaningful friendships and relationships, you’ve been pretty much in the same place for years. Things might actually be getting worse—you’re feeling even more anxious and isolated. You’ve even started picking up unhealthy habits that you never thought you would, and you're finding it hard to even dream and hope, thinking things might never get better. If this sounds like you, please know that there is hope.

-No Wait List for Experienced Therapist!- When people have traumatic upbringings, we don't get to form our own identity, learn to manage our emotions, or communicate in healthy ways. It's just surviving until we can get out. Rather than finding safety in connection as human beings are built to do, we see connection as a threat, yet simultaneously crave it. We develop protective ways of relating to people we love, which leads to feeling conflicted, distant, and unsatisfied. Have you felt like you are stuck in a loop, wanting to trust others but feeling like you can't because you'll only end up getting hurt again? We can change that.

Sometimes it's hard to reach out for help. There are pressures to perform, to look like we have no emotional or physical pain. Many of us are guarded and have our walls up because we have been hurt so badly. Some might say that you're not strong because you need to see a therapist, or you've been taught not to air your dirty laundry. I'm here to encourage you that there is virtually nothing that can't be helped in a good client therapist relationship. Timing is very important too. My ideal client is ready to enter into therapy. They are willing to try new skills to meet their goals in therapy, and enjoys a direct approach.
