You’ve carried a lot to get here, but you don’t have to keep carrying it alone. In a space built on trust and connection, we’ll explore the experiences that shaped you, tend to old wounds, and imagine new pathways forward. I honor your wisdom and lived experience while offering grounding, guidance, and care. I work with individuals who have lived through trauma, abusive relationships, or violence, helping them reconnect with their strength and move toward a life with more ease, authenticity, and hope.
I'm a Licensed Social Worker with 5+ years in community and private practice mental health. I take a collaborative, creative approach, fully focused on your unique needs using techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Somatic Experiencing (SE) and EMDR.
Together, we will explore thoughts, behaviors, and emotions in ways that help you regulate your nervous system, process trauma, and build coping strategies that fit your life. Take the first step toward a brighter future, contact me today to schedule a consultation and reclaim your life!
