Have you ever been overwhelmed by the thoughts and feelings of the past? Are you having a hard time completing daily tasks without feeling irritated or sad? Is it difficult to motivate yourself to do things you enjoy? Is it easier to be alone than be with the people you love? Do you freeze when feeling overwhelmed? Whether you have been experiencing these feelings more recently or for a long period of time, it can be so hard to know what to do or where to go. That is where I can help you.
I have the privilege of working with adults who are experiencing or have experienced trauma, depression, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. As a client-centered, psychodynamic, trauma therapist I work with you in developing self- awareness to understand your needs and how to respond to them in a healthy and effective way.
I’m deeply passionate about helping individuals find their way through life’s complexities through a multi-cultural and social justice lens. Witnessing the growth, healing, and transformation in my clients is what drives my commitment to this profession. I believe everyone deserves to experience positive growth, including you.
