Having been around the world, I know two things to be true: human suffering knows no culture or class, and the need for connection is universal. We are not meant to do life alone, and times of struggle can be such painful illustrations of that. By the time you seek out therapy, you have probably been at this for some time, white-knuckling the steering wheel of life, and adapting in the only ways you know. When you doubt your strength, know the courage it took to get here is not lost on me.
My professional background is marked by a nuanced understanding of trauma, enabling me to provide a variety of approaches to help you heal. I offer effective modalities including EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic techniques. We will work to unpack the past while supporting the development of new systems for managing stress, relationships, and honoring you.
Central to my approach is empowering authenticity which takes the very ambition, grit, and resilience that have brought you this far, and supports movement through what continues to hinder you. Acting as a guide back to alignment with your true self, I will be your advocate.
