Carrying the weight of old wounds can feel heavy and isolating. Maybe the hurt began in childhood, through family estrangement, or in relationships where you weren’t fully seen. You may be exploring who you are, how culture and identity shape you, and what it means to feel whole on your own terms. Maybe you're looking for a supportive space and a safe, genuine relationship where you can feel understood, gain insight, and reconnect with your inner truth.
I specialize in complex trauma, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, neurodiversity-informed therapy, identity exploration, and adult children of emotionally immature parents. Therapy with me is a collaborative and empowering process, grounded in relational safety, mutual trust, and genuine connection.
You deserve care that meets you where you are and honors your lived experience. If any part of this resonates, I invite you to reach out and see if we’re a good fit. I’m happy to answer questions and walk alongside you as you take this next step.
