Whether it's a one-time traumatic event or ongoing stress that you've endured daily for years, stress and trauma can take a serious toll on your well-being. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone and healing is possible. I support adults with experiences of acute, chronic, complex, or ancestral stress and trauma; in addition to related anxiety, depression, grief, chronic pain, identity issues, and burnout. Together, we’ll expand your coping strategies and sense of safety. As you recover, a path forward will emerge where new possibilities exist beyond survival mode. I know you can get there and I’m here to support!
As a trauma therapist, I’m trained in EMDR, Expressive Arts, and nervous system-based somatic skills. My approach to healing is compassionate, collaborative, and centered around your unique needs and goals. I’m committed to providing affirming care to all, with specialized experience supporting BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and immigrant community members.
Our lifelong healing journeys have a ripple effect across communities and generations. I’m here to meet you exactly where you are along your journey, honoring you as the expert of your own experience. Please feel free to call, text, or email me to schedule a free 15 minute phone or video consultation. I look forward to connecting with you!
