Therapy offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space for healing, growth, and self-discovery. I take a relational, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive approach because trust and connection are key to meaningful change. As a certified EMDR therapist trained in the Flash technique, I often integrate mindfulness and awareness of how the body responds to stress. My background spans victim advocacy, community mental health, and college counseling, with extensive experience helping trauma survivors, first responders, and those managing anxiety, depression, or grief.
I specialize in PTSD and trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relational challenges, and LGBTQIA+ affirming care. My approach is supportive and collaborative, with an emphasis on building safety and trust. We will focus on developing grounding strategies, increasing self-awareness, and fostering resilience so you can move toward lasting healing.
It would be my privilege to support you on your journey of healing and self-discovery. You don’t have to go through this alone! Together, we can create a safe, supportive space where you feel understood, empowered, and ready to take the next steps toward growth.
