Are you feeling unseen, unheard, or weighed down by your past? I'd like to support you! Healing from trauma isn’t easy, but you don’t have to do it alone. I work with children, teens, and adults dealing with adverse childhood experiences, domestic violence, intimate partner violence, sexual violence, anxiety, loss/grief, and the heavy impact of daily life. As a certified DV/SV Advocate and proud LGBTQ+ ally with 12+ years of experience, I create spaces where every identity is honored and every story matters. I’m passionate about working with those who often feel unseen, especially BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals.
I strive to make therapy a space of safety, freedom, and empowerment. My approach blends the best of both worlds: evidence-based therapies like TF-CBT and DBT with creative, whole-person healing through mindfulness, walk-and-talk sessions, meditation, and sound bowl therapy.
Sometimes healing happens sitting across from each other; sometimes it happens while walking, breathing, or just being still together. In our sessions, you can expect a calm, welcoming environment where we take time to build trust, explore your story, and find what healing looks like for you. My goal is to help you reconnect with your voice and power!
