Welcome to a safe and compassionate space for healing and creating a fulfilling life.
I understand that trauma, no matter its size or source, can leave a lasting impact on your heart, mind, and relationships. Anything hurtful to your heart deserves care and attention. My approach is trauma-informed, supportive, and culturally sensitive, honoring every layer of your identity—including gender, race, and sexuality.
I use a variety of therapeutic modalities to provide practical coping skills while guiding you toward the core of the issue. Together, we’ll work to create a safe space for healing, growth, and transformation. I’m here to support you on your journey to well-being.
My approach centers on providing personalized care that aligns with your unique goals and needs. Together, we’ll develop tailored goals to support your growth, ensuring you feel heard, valued, and understood in a safe and supportive environment. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, managing challenging emotions, or seeking greater self-awareness, I am committed to helping you achieve meaningful and positive change.
Drawing on a client-centered approach, I integrate evidence-based techniques such as Somatic Experiencing, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness practices, and other therapeutic tools to support your journey toward healing and transformation.
Let's find your stability and strength to face life’s challenges so you feel empowered and not overwhelmed. Together, we’ll develop skills and knowledge to support your healing, integrating practices like Somatic Experiencing to "rewire" your nervous system. Through mindfulness, and other grounding techniques, you’ll learn to navigate difficult emotions and experiences with greater clarity and resilience. My aim is to help you feel anchored, calm, and present so you can approach life with balance and ease.
