Sometimes we experience life changing events that cause us lose sight of our hopes and dreams. Our fears can deceive us into believing that we will never be okay again. We do not have to be defined by what has happened to us. I believe that no matter what we have been through we have the potential to create for ourselves, a happy, rich and full life worth living. It is not easy to overcome the hard experiences, but it is possible. Therapy can increase psychological flexibility and allow us to be open again. If you are tired of being limited and ready to make real changes, therapy can help you create the life you truly desire.

As a child survivor of narcissistic and abusive parents myself, I have dedicated my life to helping those who have experienced the kind of life-long impacts that come with surviving narcissistic abuse.
I have ample experience working with those impacted by abuse in many different forms. I am EMDR trained and enjoy working on trauma recovery. I love to incorporate different mediums into my practice, including but not limited to goal development, art, writing, & body movement. I operate from a radical acceptance model around body neutrality and self-esteem.

Maybe your anxiety or stress is compounded by intersectional identities such as gender, sexuality, or race. Maybe you find yourself doom scrolling on social media in order to numb the world around you, have difficulty communicating with loved ones, or are searching for your sense of self after years of being told your true self was not enough. Maybe it’s even 2 am as you read this after a sleepless hour of thinking about all the embarrassing things that you’ve experienced. Now, wait. Take a breath, notice anything coming up for you and acknowledge it. It can be here without disrupting your purpose.

In today’s society, emotional resiliency is a necessity, as stressors of everyday life can overwhelm, confuse, and disorient our minds. We struggle to be productive, feel fulfilled, and maintain healthy relationships with ourselves and others. Stress, anxiety, depression, loss, grief, and other adverse experiences can take a long-term toll on our health and overall happiness. We all strive to obtain this happiness, yet a great deal of us struggle to cope with daily tasks, and it can be even harder to make a positive change in our lives without proper motivation, validation, and support. That’s why I’m here!
