I work with high-functioning adults who appear to have it together on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, or stuck beneath the surface. Many are navigating the lasting effects of trauma, difficult family dynamics, relationship challenges, identity-related stress, or patterns that no longer serve them. I specialize in working with LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC adults and provide a collaborative, affirming space where clients can better understand themselves, heal unresolved wounds, and create meaningful, lasting change.
I provide trauma-focused therapy using EMDR therapy, psychodynamic therapy, attachment-based approaches, and nervous-system-informed care. Together, we'll explore the roots of current struggles, process difficult experiences, and build a stronger sense of safety, self-trust, and connection in your life and relationships.
Seeking support can feel vulnerable, especially if you've learned to carry everything on your own. You don't have to navigate it alone. If you're looking for a thoughtful, affirming therapist who values authenticity, collaboration, and deeper healing, I invite you to reach out and see if we're a good fit.
