We'll safely yet critically explore your own upbringing and past experiences to better understand your challenges and overcome them.

Mind and body are connected, and I don't believe we can solely think or talk our way out of past and present trauma.
Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, stuck, lacking energy, or not feeling present in your body or the world? If so, welcome to being human. But seriously, it's completely understandable to be experiencing some or all of these symptoms while existing in this patriarchal, white-supremacist and capitalist country. It is not our fault that traumatic things have happened to us. We cannot undo what has been done, but we can learn, practice, and embody new ways of being. We will heal as an act of resistance! I feel honored to do this work, and I am here to support you on your healing journey.

I am trained in somatic therapy and Cognitive Processing Therapy for trauma.
You question if you are the problem or if you’re at fault for the issues in your life or what happened to you. From the moment you wake, your thoughts are racing, and through much of the day, you’re plagued with flashes of intrusive memories. The constant overwhelm causes you to struggle constantly, and it feels like peace is impossible. A voice in your head tells you to “feel your feelings,” but how do you do that without spiraling? On top of your inner chaos, the people in your life walk all over you without a care. You have been hearing a lot of talk of “setting boundaries,” but worry about pushing people away.

I am a 15+ year experienced professional equipped to help clients address concerns related to depression, grief/loss, anxiety, stress, trauma (specialty area), life transitions, and self-esteem.
No one is perfect. We've all behaved petty at some point in our lives. Over the years, petty has become popular, going viral via social media around the world; however, what I've learned in life & in this field is whether we have been that person or been impacted by someone, we can all chase the root down to something deeper than the situation, i.e. sadness, anxiety, trauma, etc. I am here to offer you a non-judgmental space to process from the petty to highly problematic experience. I invite you to work with me to heal from the inside out (or root to the surf ace) & have more peaceful experiences with yourself & others. Let's talk!

My lens is client-centered, gender-affirming, strengths-based, intersectional, trauma-focused, and rooted in lived experiences as a trans, queer woman.
You're at a crossroads. Maybe you're ready to take your next steps, and seeking guidance. Maybe you're not sure you're ready, still doubting whether you could make the changes you know you need in your life, your identity, or your relationships. Either way, looking here is an expression of hope in the possibility of change. I believe anyone can change their life, heal, and grow, if you feel safe enough to be vulnerable, and you have the right support for your needs. What I offer is calm non-judgment, and navigation for healing pain, resolving ambivalence, finding joy, and facing hardships, grounded in your authentic self and values.

It is this perspective that makes me a great fit for clients who are looking for a space to be their most authentic and vulnerable selves. I strive to create a safe supportive relationship and deeply value feedback and dialogue, fostering a space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. This may be experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, and racial/ethnic/gender exploration or concerns.

You're ready to start feeling better and are interested in a holistic approach embracing: forgiveness, self esteem, trauma, anxiety, depression, co-dependency, loneliness and learning to tap into your inner resilience.
No matter how hard you try to move forward, you feel like your taking one step back. You’re a high performer with perfectionism tendencies and always put on a smile, which helps you forget your pain. You feel you will never be fully happy and never be able to fully enjoy life how others do, because of your many losses, attributing to your decreased self esteem. You may keep friends and family at a distance, to protect yourself from yet another inevitable loss. You may have stopped exercising and taking care of yourself the way you used to, since it takes too much work and you're just surviving at the end of another long day.
