You deserve a reliable space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to create the life you want. You're the expert on your own life - I'm here as your teammate. I'll meet you exactly where you are, without judgment, and we'll collaborate to identify what healing and growth look like for you. I have a flexible and warm approach, a trauma- and critical race-informed perspective, and tailor individual treatment using evidence-based methods like EMDR, (Trauma-Focused) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Person-Centered, and Harm Reduction techniques.
Together, we can process difficult experiences, build practical coping skills, and work toward your goals at a pace that feels right for you. I'm passionate about helping clients move from surviving to thriving, and I specialize in supporting trauma and sexual/domestic violence survivors, as well as people within and connected to the LGBTQ+ community.
Whether you're just starting therapy or returning after a break, let's work together to get you where you want to go.

Before transitioning to clinical work, I spent several years as an educator, and I still work as a community workshop facilitator, teaching about sexual violence prevention, consent education, and healthy relationships.
