You've survived the hardest times in your life, yet you can't seem to shake those lingering feelings of anxiety, shame, irritability, or self-doubt. Maybe it's hard to trust people, or to feel like you can ever fully relax. You are not alone. Together, we can begin to reduce the residual effects those difficult experiences have in your life. As a person-centered, trauma-informed therapist, I will create a safe and comfortable space where we can walk along your healing journey together while gently teaching your nervous system that you are safe.
Healing doesn't look the same for everyone, which is why I draw from a variety of evidence-based approaches. These might include CBT, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and somatic techniques. Together we will gain insight into the deepest parts of yourself, develop tools to manage intense emotions, and instill a greater sense of safety.
I'm passionate about working with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities, and am body-, sex-, and kink-affirming. I specialize in supporting survivors of accidents, sexual assault, intimate partner violence, and childhood trauma. Whether you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or PTSD, let's work toward reclaiming your power and improving your quality of life.
