With nearly two decades of experience, I provide compassionate support to individuals facing challenges like depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting, and neurodiversity. Licensed since 2010 and in private practice since 2020, I specialize in trauma recovery using EMDR, somatic therapy, and sex therapy. I also integrate CBT, mindfulness, self-compassion, and ACT to help you build resilience and move toward healing in a safe and supportive space.
I specialize in trauma recovery, with a focus on relational, emotional, and sexual trauma, using integrative approaches like EMDR, somatic therapy, and sex therapy.

Having worked in diverse community settings since 2005, I understand the complexities of human experience and offer tailored support for those seeking to reconnect with their identity, emotions, and relationships.
