Working with clients has been both a personal and professional honor and privilege. Life is a journey filled with desired or undesired opportunities for growth. My approach is deeply rooted in connection while we work together to navigate all of life's moments. I like to use techniques and interventions from Family Systems and Solution Focused Therapy. In sessions we will explore how family systems, previous or current, can impact life experiences while working to identify relevant solutions and highlight your personal strengths and capabilities.

I am an integrative and culturally sensitive driven therapist who works with adults to unlearn systemic inequalities and process intergenerational trauma, grief, and anxiety, so you can confidently befriend your feelings, navigate life transitions, step into authenticity, and feel more at home in yourself. Often times when we are going through something difficult, it can be hard to see our way out. This may lead to spiraling thoughts, a lost sense of security and safety, thinking "I'm not good enough", consistently feeling on edge, and feeling disconnected from ourselves and others.

This first step is hard. I see you. I specialize in working with trauma and relational ruptures throughout the lifetime - this may be a single incident trauma, developmental or attachment trauma, trust violations, communication, intimacy, or emotional overwhelm. I support those who are poly, ENM, kinky, queer, trans, living with HIV, and those who do consensual sex work.

My goal is to help clients find a path that works best for their individual goals through acceptance, collaboration and a little bit of humor along the way. I have experience working client's struggling with symptoms of anxiety, trauma, and testing and sports performance. I believe our brains and bodies are wired for protection. Sometimes they go overboard in trying to keep us safe, which leave us feeling either stuck/frozen or very activated/anxious. Awareness, learning new skills, and retraining your body and brain, can help reduce these responses and increase feelings of happiness, relaxation and connection.
