Do the upcoming holidays bring up more anxiety and dread than comfort and joy? Do family gatherings make you want to retreat and hide under a mountain of blankets? Whether you’re struggling to find motivation beyond the “bare minimum,” or suddenly tackling long-postponed to-dos, I’m here to help. For many people, family dynamics stir up a mix of emotions. When those tougher feelings begin to shape how we act, speak, or show up, it can be a signal to pause and look inward. I specialize in helping clients identify the parts of themselves that need understanding, acceptance, or a bit of gentle polishing.
PTSD & C-PTSD are areas I excel in: rediscover your worthiness & put the traumatic memories into the past where they belong. I may also be helpful to you if you are dealing with the aftereffects of our country's Judeo-Christian society: perfectionism, mind-body separation, internalized oppression, grind-culture, & shame.
My therapeutic approach is fully informed by my initial clinical experiences working with people ignored, exploited, and often abused by our white supremacist culture. I acknowledge how my privileged identities can impact patient care and I continue to learn and unlearn. If what I've written here resonates with you, I offer free 20-minute consultation calls.

I believe most mental health issues relate to some type of trauma or rejection. In the beginning, we will collaborate to identify a set of therapeutic interventions tailored just for you. I believe our relationship as therapist and "patient" is where the most healing occurs. Most of my patient experience significant relief after the first 3 sessions and additional improvement as treatment goes on.

I identify as an eclectic therapist with a preference to use a combination of narrative and person-centered approaches within a culturally humble context. I will often integrate attachment and trauma-focused language when assisting you in identifying "core" issues, in addition to offering EMDR. You can expect me to be patient & compassionate while incorporating humor and my own authentic self.
