We will work together to find the wholeness that is already within you, as you develop relationships with and care for all of the parts of you to nurture healing. I am passionate about working with those who belong to the LGBTQIA2S+ community and other marginalized communities; helping professionals; military/veterans; and those with complex trauma. I currently see adults, adolescents aged 16 and older, and families and partners, including those in polyamorous/CNM relationships.
I know you are the expert on yourself; my role is to hold space, offer tools, and be a guide for your healing journey. I use a combination of evidence-based trauma therapies, yoga/mindfulness, and an understanding of your body's response to trauma. I strive to be aware of the impact of systemic oppression and marginalization on holistic health.
I am committed to creating a compassionate, nonjudgmental space for our relationship, where you can engage in self-inquiry and healing in mind and body. I look forward to hearing from you and working together!

I primarily use Internal Family Systems and am IFS Level 1 trained. I am also trained in and frequently use EMDR. Both of these are evidence-based therapies for healing trauma.
