I support adults struggling to cope with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and life transitions. I have a particular expertise working with survivors of complex trauma, including interpersonal violence, sexual assault, and attachment wounding. I am intersectional and anti-racist in my approach, honoring one's social location and exploring how systems of power and oppression contribute to the challenges that bring them to therapy.
I have deep-seated respect for my clients and their lived experiences. Therapy with me is collaborative, integrative, and prioritizes safety and trust every step of the way. I draw from a number of modalities, including relational and attachment-based, and I incorporate EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic work to strengthen mind-body connection.
Finding a therapist who feels right for you is essential. I welcome inquiries and offer a complimentary 15 minute consultation to determine if my approach and your therapy needs are a good fit.
