Does this upcoming holiday season bring up more anxiety and dread than comfort and joy? Do the accompanying family gatherings make you want to hide under 1,000 blankets? Whether you are struggling with motivation to do a whole of anything more than the “bare minimum” or finally completing those to-dos from… months ago, I’m here to help. For most of us, family gatherings bring up many mixed feelings; when those more distressing feelings change how we act, talk, and present ourselves, it might be time to pause and reflect. Finding the part of ourselves that are needing some polishing or acceptance is something I excel at.
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.
If what I've written here resonates with you, I offer free 20-minute consultation calls. 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.

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.
