About
Pushing through your day, barely able to make it to the end. You may be struggling to manage emotions or thoughts and stuck in how to move forward in your life past a particular event or experience. You may start to think you are the problem, and not understand how you can heal. If you’ve been experiencing overwhelming thoughts and feelings, and are struggling with stress or anxiety...There is hope to escape these feelings and move forward with your life. My clients have reported growth in all ways: emotional, spiritual, and physical. Therapy can provide that for you. All you need to do is reach out.
I strive to be culturally inclusive and affirmative in working to create a safe and welcoming environment for you to feel able to express your authentic self with no judgement. With lived personal and professional experiences, you can trust I will "get you" in a way that will promote your healing.
I support individuals struggling with Anxiety or Medical, Emotional, and Physical Trauma, BIPOC individuals navigating minority-stress issues & offering support in processing Racial Trauma; Working with the LGBT+ & Queer & Gender Diverse community and those working through Life Transitions.
