I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds to help them process past trauma, break unhelpful cycles, and move toward a greater sense of peace and clarity. I see my role as a guide—supporting you as you navigate your own unique path toward healing. I specialize in EMDR, an evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess traumatic experiences, so they no longer feel as overwhelming or stuck. In addition to evidence-based practices, I also believe in the importance of connection—bringing warmth, authenticity, and even humor into sessions when appropriate.
I am committed to providing nonjudgmental, culturally responsive, and gender-affirming care. I believe that you are the expert in your own life, and therapy is a collaborative process. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, substance use, and major life transitions, with a focus on LGBTQ+ related trauma.
Seeking support is one of the bravest things you can do. It isn’t always easy, but investing in yourself can create meaningful, lasting change. I truly believe in your capacity for growth and healing, and I would be honored to support you on that journey.
