Welcome! My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that each person's journey is unique and our work together should fit your specific needs, strengths, and goals. I often draw from expressive approaches, mindfulness practices, and consider relational factors to help deepen self-understanding and healing. Whether through creative expression or exploring meaningful connections, I'm here to walk alongside you with compassion and care. I believe healing happens within safe, attuned relationships, where you feel seen, heard, and empowered.
As a trauma-focused counselor, I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and families who have experienced trauma, attachment disruptions, and emotional hardship. My approach is deeply rooted in humanistic, relational-cultural, and expressive arts therapies, emphasizing empathy, creativity, and authentic connection.
My role is to walk alongside clients on their journey, honoring their unique stories, identities, and inner resilience. I am committed to equity, cultural humility, and inclusive care, honoring each client’s background and lived experience. My space is LGBTQIA+ affirming, neurodiversity-affirming, and welcomes all family structures and identities.
