Individuals and lgbtq+ folx navigating anxiety, work stress, and family or relationship challenges often need space to decompress and reconnect with coping skills. Processing trauma—whether developmental or from a single event—can help heal attachment wounds that shape emotions and relationships. Therapy offers support in understanding these patterns, building resilience, and fostering self-acceptance. The goal is to create healthier connections, manage stress more effectively, and improve overall quality of life.

Using a trauma-informed lens, I ensure you feel safe as we explore your emotions and experiences. Attachment theory helps us understand how early bonds shaped your relationships and IFS helps harmonize parts of yourself. Expressive arts therapy allows for creative expression, encouraging emotional release, insight, and deeper self-compassion and wholeness.
In our work, I provide a space to explore and express yourself fully. Through talk therapy and/or creative arts, I guide you in uncovering emotions and working through challenges. Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, so I tailor my approach to your unique needs, supporting you every step. If you’re ready for deeper healing, I'd be honored to work w/ you.
