Welcome! Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, DBT trained and Clinical Social Worker. I am here to provide a safe, welcoming space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges. With a focus on integrating mind, body, and spirit, I go beyond traditional talk therapy to foster overall well-being.
Your healing journey is unique. Together, we’ll create personalized sessions tailored to your needs and goals, empowering you to overcome obstacles and embrace growth.
Healing begins when you take the first step. Let’s walk this path of transformation, healing, and self-discovery together. I’m honored to be part!

I am deeply committed to guiding clients through life's diverse challenges, offering unwavering support for stress, anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, BPD, and relationship dynamics, including polyamory. I also specialize in supporting refugee experiences, trauma, grief, and issues related to teens, children, and parenting.
With compassion and respect, taking the first step towards healing is courageous! Let's embark on this journey together!
