If you have ever experienced trauma, then you know first hand the ways it often casts shadows on your everyday life. Maybe dissociation and constant internal conflicts make you feel disoriented, and triggers seem to be everywhere that cause intense emotional rollercoasters. Perhaps relationships seem too difficult, boundaries impossible to implement, and love and care feel beyond your reach. If this resonates with you, we may be a good fit! I journey with my clients to help them discover and love all parts of themselves, heal painful wounds from past trauma, and forge a path towards a life of clarity, peace, and authenticity.
I am especially skilled in working with adults and young adults who have endured childhood trauma, physical/sexual/spiritual abuse, and chaotic family dynamics, among many other types of life adversities. I work closely with individuals who have CPTSD, dissociative experiences and identities (DID/OSDD), OCD, borderline personality traits, and more.
As a member of a trauma therapist collective called Collectively We Heal, we commit to serving trauma survivors of all cultures, backgrounds, and unique needs. As a BIPOC therapist with my own story of healing, I will meet you with curiosity and compassion, with a side of humor and gentle challenging! It would be my honor to walk with you through healing.
