“I am a trauma-informed therapist with specialized training in working with individuals impacted by domestic violence, sexual assault, abuse, trafficking, first responder experiences, and complex trauma. While I have experience supporting a wide range of concerns, my primary focus is helping clients process and heal from deeply impactful life events. I work with individuals across the lifespan, from childhood through adulthood, and tailor my approach to meet each client’s unique developmental and emotional needs. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and committed to providing ethical, compassionate, culturally responsive care. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by what you’ve been through, stuck in patterns that don’t make sense, or unsure how to move forward, you are not alone. Together, we can create a space where your experiences are understood, your voice is valued, and healing feels possible.”

“Do you find yourself asking, why can't I stop worrying what others think? Why can't I turn my thoughts off at night? Why do relationships feel disappointing? Why can’t I make decisions? Why am I always tired? I'm here to assure you, you are not a problem; you are the solution! If you are ready to address the cycles you find yourself repeating, imbalanced relationships, toxic families/work environments, struggles with dieting and body image, loss of a sense of self, people-pleasing and perfectionism: I work with adults seeking relief from anxiety and/or stress from life transitions (relationships, grief/loss, career, self-worth/identity). You will experience a non-judgmental and very down to earth (laughing, crying, and swearing freely) approach in sessions. Many of my clients report feeling better after their first session, or in the first month!”

“I specialize in helping LGBTQIA+ adults manage stress, anxiety, perfectionist tendencies; deepen and strengthen their relationships with themselves and others; reprocess past trauma to foster healing and growth; and understand more about themselves within their cultures.”

“Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck on auto-pilot, and unsure of what to do? You don’t have to figure it out alone. I help people get unstuck by untangling trauma, exploring identity and values, and moving toward a more grounded life. Clients tell me our sessions feel like a “golden hour” in their day: a calm, compassionate pause that lets warm light shine upon life’s shadows. I am queer and am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ individuals and couples/relationships. My work is centered in liberation, providing a space that encourages expression, empowerment, and choice.”

“I work with adults of all ages, genders, and identities. Some identities that I especially focus on are people in multicultural/mixed race relationships or families, men (often seeking therapy for the first time), people who perform for a living (performing arts, athletes). I work with people on anxiety/OCD, relationship challenges, low self-worth, chronic illness burnout, sexual issues, childhood trauma, ADHD, spiritual issues, religious trauma, parenting, addiction, & men's issues.”

“I work with adults, including LGBTQIA+ clients, who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma histories, and patterns that feel hard to shift even when insight is present. Many clients are high-functioning on the outside but internally dealing with chronic stress, emotional overwhelm, self-criticism, or disconnection from themselves or relationships. I also work with therapists, healthcare professionals, and creative professionals who carry complex emotional loads in their work and need a place where they do not have to perform competence. A lot of the work involves people who are trying to understand longstanding relational patterns or identity-related questions in a more grounded and sustainable way.”

“I work with adult Latine individuals who are looking to connect to their emotional needs, better understand family history, and heal trauma wounds. As children of immigrants, childhood came with a variety of responsibilities; though many provided great skills, some continue to affect our wellbeing and adult relationships in ways that weren't anticipated. Some common challenges I work with include feeling responsible for your family's wellbeing while also navigating your own needs, trying to build a relationship where your parents can see you as an adult, setting healthy boundaries without completely cutting family out of your life, or even making sense of and healing from your childhood experiences but having a difficult time managing guilt, shame, fear, regret, anxiety, or additional emotions that come up when revisiting childhood memories.”

“The clients who work well with me are those who may be self aware, or knowledgeable about therapy techniques, but do not have the tools to make the improvements they already know they need to make. I also help my clients see things from different perspectives in order to fully understand the situations they've experienced and why they react the way they do. Clients who come to me often struggle with family dynamics, perhaps they are the scapegoat, or the helper/fixer of their family. Often my clients have experienced abuse of some sort, be it childhood, adulthood, religious, or sexual. The clients I most enjoy helping are those who struggle to feel seen, to understand why they are constantly treated poorly, and why no one seems to understand what they are feeling. These clients also often struggle with behaviors they can't seem to stop or prevent.”

“I work with individual adults and teens (ages 15+) who are looking for a soft, welcoming place to process and heal. Folx who choose me as a therapist are tired of feeling simultaneously “not enough” and “too much,” and want to start living a life that aligns with their values-- starting with a therapy space that honors them as they are. My therapy space is open to people of all marginalized identities, and is home especially for LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergent, Disabled, and racialized BBIA folx whose identities are most linked to systemic violence and neglect. Clients I work with typically experience complex and single-incident trauma, self-esteem, and big existential questions around identity and purpose. I largely serve folx whose trauma manifests other challenges, like depression, anxiety, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, sexual dysfunction, or substance use.”

“I work with millennial women experiencing grief, anxiety, or trauma.”

“Let’s be real — the state of the world right now is heavy. As if maintaining good mental health weren’t hard enough already, right? I’m here to support with those hard day-to-day challenges, and to help you understand and shift how your past shapes the way you move through the world today. You have a story worth telling, and I want to hear it. My role is to walk beside you — offering perspective, practical tools, and space to heal. I specialize in working with trauma, grief, and anxiety, always guided by mindfulness, compassion, and a holistic perspective on healing.”
