Do you lash out at others for no clear reason? Avoid certain situations or emotions? Struggle with memories that won’t let go? Feel like there’s a battle inside you? These are signs of trauma—experiences that can keep you from living the life you deserve. Many of my clients are military veterans, LGBTQ+ individuals, or survivors of childhood trauma. They often feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed by fear, anger, or pain. If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. Healing is possible. Me and my associates are trained in healing attachment wounds, building healthy boundaries, and emotion-focused work.
I am certified in EMDR therapy to help clients process painful memories and reconnect with themselves. As a gay, Asian, Marine veteran, I bring an intersectional approach to trauma therapy. I hold a Master’s in Multicultural Community Counseling and am an EMDRIA consultant-in-training. My practice is poly, neurodivergent, and kink friendly.
Healing from trauma takes courage, but you don’t have to do it alone. EMDR and Parts Work can help you break free from painful patterns and reclaim your life. If you’re ready to start this journey, I’m here to support you. Let’s work together to help you feel more connected, empowered, and at peace. Reach out today—I’d love to help.

In therapy with me, we won't begin processing trauma until you're truly ready. I'll guide you in building the skills, stability, and self-trust needed for deeper work. Together, we'll connect with the unheard parts of yourself, fostering understanding and healing. As you unburden past wounds, you may regain control, emotional freedom, and a stronger, more compassionate relationship with yourself.
