My Approach to Helping

Healing from trauma isn't something we're meant to do alone. When we feel safe enough to reconnect with our nervous system, especially with the support of an attuned therapist, therapy can be deeply powerful. I specialize with adults healing from PTSD, C-PTSD, childhood trauma, and attachment wounds. I also support survivors of sexual assault, toxic relationships, and those facing depression, anxiety, panic, or suicidal thoughts. Using trauma-based therapies like EMDR, Brainspotting, and Somatic Experiencing. I help clients gently process painful memories and reconnect with their sense of safety, wholeness, and inner resilience.

As a feminist, culturally sensitive therapist, I recognize how systems of oppression, inequality, and societal expectations shape our experiences and impact our well-being. I offer support that honors your lived experience - creating a space where you feel truly seen, valued, and understood.

Therapy with me is relational. My priority is building safety and trust. I take the time to get to know you, bringing presence, compassion, attunement, and authenticity to our work. Together, we can take meaningful steps toward creating the life you envision and deserve. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation - I'd love to connect!
