Are you someone seeking a space to heal, grow, and feel understood? I specialize in helping both children and adults process childhood trauma, navigate attachment challenges, and heal from abuse. Whether you’re an adult working through the lasting effects of trauma, a caregiver wanting to strengthen your bond with your child, or a child struggling with big emotions or behavioral issues, or simply don't know where to start, I’m here to support you. Together, we can build resilience, improve relationships, and create a life that feels authentic and meaningful.
I specialize in trauma-responsive care, helping children and adults heal from trauma, attachment challenges, and domestic abuse. Using tools like expressive arts, EMDR, CPP, psychodynamic principles, and mindfulness, I offer a warm, culturally affirming space for growth.
I see myself as a companion on your healing journey—here to remind you of your strengths and support you to grow. Therapy doesn’t have to feel cold or distant. It’s about creating a space that reflects who you are and how you want to heal. Together, we can cultivate peace, healing, and a life filled with meaning and connection.

I use EMDR for individuals ready to overcome trauma. I use CPP with parents and young children that have experienced trauma or other life stressors. I also utilize Expressive Arts (art, music, dance) to provide clients with the opportunity to explore their feelings in other ways. Finally, I use traditional psychodynamic therapy and mindfulness for individuals wanting to go deeper in their healing.
