My clinical specializations include treatment of individuals exposed to trauma, chronic stress, and adverse childhood experiences. I primarily utilize a cognitive behavioral approach to therapy that integrates trauma-focused treatments, multiculturalism and social justice to empower clients towards increased insight, self-advocacy, and symptom reduction.
If you’ve found yourself here, chances are you’re carrying something heavy and maybe you’re tired of holding it alone. Perhaps you're facing a challenge or experiencing something new and just need a soft safe space to land. If you're ready, let me walk with you towards the life you want and strengthen you to attain your therapeutic goals.

I am passionate about advocating for my clients' needs and improving their ability to advocate for themselves. My focus is two-fold: helping students with learning differences navigate the education system and encouraging clients who have experienced trauma or chronic stress rebuild their sense of control, safety, self-esteem, and interpersonal connection.
